Original color lithograph
Jean Carzou (1907-2000), born Karnik Zouloumian, French painter, engraver and designer of Armenian origin. A major figure of the post-war Paris School alongside Bernard Buffet, Yves Brayer and Jansem, he was elected to the Académie des Beaux-Arts and decorated with the Légion d’Honneur. Port and boat scenes are among the most emblematic and sought-after subjects of his engraved work.

Signature: Signed and dated "Carzou 58" in pencil at the lower right (date of printing/validation of the impression)
Numbering: 74/300, numbered in pencil at the lower left.
Subject: Animated port view, docked quay lined with a colonnaded warehouse, fishing sailing boats moored in a row, a forest of masts standing out against the turquoise-blue sky characteristic of the period. A typical composition from Carzou’s port repertoire in the 1950s.
Presentation: Under a Marie-Louise mount, gilded wood frame with gold leaf
Condition: Very good overall condition
