AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The painting is a typical harbor scene by the French late-impressionist painter Henri Maurice Cahours (1889–1974).

It is striking for its characteristic, subdued color palette and the deft handling of light reflections on the water.

Infos about the artist & work

The artist: Henri Maurice Cahours was a notable French landscape and marine painter. In 1942 he was even appointed official painter of the French Navy (Peintre Officiel de la Marine).

The motifs: Much of his life's work was devoted to subjects from Brittany, especially fishing ports such as Concarneau or Douarnenez, as well as scenes at low tide (marée basse).

Style: Late Impressionist with a clear focus on atmosphere, light moods, and the depiction of boats in the harbor.

The signature bottom-right ('Henri Cahours' or 'H. M. Cahours') matches perfectly with his registered signatures.

Note: the painting has a small line that can be lightly retouched. (see photo)
