Marcel Cauchet
(1902–?)
Bathers

Watercolor and gouache on paper, signed bottom right.

Refined composition depicting scenes of bathers, arranged in four panels with nude female figures immersed in a lake landscape. The work stands out for its balanced, narrative construction, in which the different poses of the figures create a visual rhythm that is harmonious and continuous.

The palette, delicate and luminous, is dominated by pastel tones — blues, violets, greens, and ochres — applied confidently with watercolor and gouache. The figures are rendered with a synthetic yet expressive line, reminiscent of the French painting tradition of the early 20th century, combining post-impressionist sensibility with a decorative taste.

Shipping

The work will be prepared and packed with the utmost care, using materials appropriate for protecting works on paper. However, postal shipping, while an economical option, is not the most suitable method for transporting works of art, especially when framed, and it cannot guarantee the absence of possible damage during transport.

Even for shipments within Europe, delivery times may be longer and there may be customs formalities or charges payable by the buyer.

On request, it is possible to arrange shipment through professional carriers specializing in transporting works of art.
Personal pickup in Geneva remains, in any case, the safest and recommended option.
