Vintage Artwork One-Of-A-Kind

The cranes lean out over the water where the Seine still works for a living, hauling cargo in and out of Rouen. Found in Le Perche, deep in the forest at a dealer's stone home, it is an oil of the port at Rouen, cranes and moored boats beneath a wooded hill, signed and dated 1958 in the lower corner. Rouen has been Normandy's great river port for centuries, the last deep harbor on the Seine before the sea, and where most painters chased its famous cathedral this one turned to the working waterfront instead. Sylvie leans it on a mantel or a shelf of books, unframed and honest, a whole working harbor brought indoors.

Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.

Notes from Sylvie:

Dear collector, this piece has been used for many years and may show light wear consistent with its age. The painting is unframed and signed in the lower left corner, with brilliant colors throughout. The canvas is pulling slightly away from the stretcher in areas, with some minor wear to the painted surface.
