About the Item
Title: Crognier Coastal Harbour with Boats and Stone Houses Watercolor
Artist: Pierre Neveu (French b.1929)
Medium: Watercolour on artist paper, unframed
Size (H x W): 6.25 x 8.5 inches
Condition: Good overall, with light handling marks and minor natural toning consistent with age.
Provenance: From the artist’s studio sale in France; all works by this artist in our collection originate from the artist’s estate.
Description: This lively and atmospheric watercolor captures a quiet harbour scene along the French coastline, where fishing boats rest on the shoreline at low tide. The artist uses loose, expressive brushwork and a harmonious mix of blues, ochres and greens to evoke the warmth and rhythm of small-town coastal life. Whitewashed houses line the horizon in a succession of soft geometric shapes, their tiled roofs glowing against a subdued lilac sky. In the foreground, anchored boats cast gentle reflections across the still water, their forms sketched with confidence and sensitivity.
The composition leads the eye from the vivid shoreline to the calm expanse of blue water, creating a balance between activity and serenity. The artist’s mark-making — quick, energetic, and layered with both line and wash — captures the fleeting impression of a scene observed outdoors, likely en plein air. Subtle tonal shifts within the landscape suggest approaching evening light, giving the work a warm and nostalgic feel.
Signed “Crognier” at the lower right, the piece fits seamlessly within the tradition of late-20th-century French watercolorists who focused on everyday provincial subjects. This artwork would appeal to collectors of European coastal landscapes, lovers of French regional painting, and buyers seeking expressive yet accessible works on paper. Its intimate scale and vivid palette make it especially suitable for framing in a kitchen, hallway, or contemporary living space.
