About the Item
Ernest Laynaud (French, fl. late 19th century)
Figures on a Beach, circa 1890
Oil on panel
Signed lower right
Provenance: G. M. Lotinga, New Bond Street, London
⸻
A delightful late 19th-century beach scene by Ernest Laynaud, capturing the leisurely rhythm of a French coastal resort during the Belle Époque. Painted with a light, atmospheric touch, the composition is animated by elegantly dressed figures seated along the shoreline—ladies reading, conversing and shading themselves beneath parasols—while children play in the sand and smaller groups wander near the water’s edge.
Laynaud’s handling is lively yet controlled, with crisp detailing in the figures balanced by broad, expressive strokes in the sky and distant cliffs. The gentle maritime light unifies the scene, imparting a fresh, breezy quality that evokes the refinement and sociability of seaside leisure during the period. The artist’s sensitivity to posture, costume and interaction lends the work an engaging narrative charm, typical of French coastal genre painting of the late 19th century.
Executed on panel, the painting retains excellent surface quality, and is presented in an ornate gilt frame that enhances its elegance and period character. With provenance to G. M. Lotinga of New Bond Street, London, a distinguished dealership of the era, the work carries both aesthetic and historical appeal.
A beautifully observed and atmospheric coastal subject by Laynaud, rich in detail and full of the gentle vivacity of seaside life.
