****************************************************************************************
Defects of the canvas:
- Cracking due to age, balance, elements of patina.
- Traces of restoration at the level of the window (repainted), plants on the beach (bottom right) as well as a slight retouching, poorly carried out, in the sky at the mast level.
Tiny blisters (swelling) on the door (heat?), on the foot of the young girl and the fisherman's forehead. (see last photo)
Irregular and frayed edges of canvas (outside the painted area). (I will ask for tape to be added as a seam to avoid the canvas losing tension over time)
- Slightly marked rack traces on the canvas.

Overall condition:
- Well-stretched canvas
- Fresh colours.
- Average condition.

Description of the work:
Gustave Wappers is a member of the Antwerp school.
His first teachers were Matthew Van Bree and Guillaume-Jacques Herreyns.
Thus, he was taught to design a composition, not only according to the drawing (the academic method), but also according to the colour.
The Antwerp School was renowned for this approach which attracted students from around the world.
This painting, “Le pauvre pêcheur et sa fille” owes its vivacity to the colours. 
The construction of the whole is in harmony:
The linen of the rags, the coat abandoned on a barrel, the sail wrapped around the broken mast is reminiscent of a work by Van Dick or Rubens.
The shimmering ochres of the sand in the foreground seem to highlight the scene. 
When seen more closely, the hut in the foreground and the sky in the background are not neutral but are equally rich in colour (green-blue-grey).
Wappers, unlike the romantic painters - who preferred scenes at sunset - shows a raw realism.
By the many details (rags, darkening sky, empty pot, broken windows, boat remains, unused mast ...), the artist suggests a mixed feeling of dejection and fatality from the poor old fisherman and his daughter.

And yet ..., the arm on the girl's shoulder and the fisherman's expression evoke notes of passion, hope and love that the artist undoubtedly wanted to express.

“Je te sais endormie, là juste à côté. (“I know you're asleep, just next door.)
Et dans ce petit matin progressivement ensoleillé (And in this gradually sunny morning)
Les rayons me réchauffent le coeur de ta tendresse immaculée (The rays warm my heart with your immaculate tenderness)
Je savoure cette quiétude avant l’éveil de ma princesse de conte de fées” (I savour this calm before the awakening of my fairy tale Princess”)

Biography:
Egide Charles Gustave Wappers, Baron (1803-1874), was a Belgian painter born in Antwerp on 23 August 1803. After studying at the Academy of Antwerp, he moved to Paris in 1826. 
The Romantic movement was spreading from France.
His first painting, “La dévotion du bourgmestre de Leyde” was a great success at the Brussels Salon of 1830. Although political, the work was of high quality and revolutionised the taste of Flemish painters. 
Wappers was invited to the Court of Brussels. 
In 1832, the city of Antwerp appointed him as professor of painting. And his triumph was complete when he exhibited his masterpiece “Un épisode de la révolution belge de 1830” (Galerie de Bruxelles) at the Antwerp Salon of 1834. 
He was appointed painter of the Belgian King and after the death of Matthew van Bree, he was appointed Director of the Antwerp Academy. 

His many works include “Christ Entombed”, “Charles I. taking leave of his Children”, “Charles IX”, “Peter the Great at Saardam” and “Boccaccio at the Court of Joanna of Naples”. 
Louis Philippe ordered a large fresco for the gallery at Versailles, “La Défense de Rhodes par les Chevaliers de Saint-Jean de Jérusalem”, a work completed in 1844, when he received the title of Baron from the Belgian King.
