The Girl and the Boat

Round French Seascape Painting in Wood Frame.
Signed H. Henry

Painted on a small circular board and framed in warm carved wood, La Fille et le Bateau captures a fleeting coastal moment. A young girl, dressed in deep green with windswept skirts and white bonnet, stands barefoot beside a colourful fishing boat. The light is soft, the sea is quiet, and the story is left to the viewer’s imagination.

This petite French seascape has a sense of nostalgia, like something remembered rather than observed - waves rolling in behind her, salt on the breeze, sand between her toes. The tone and technique are timeless, with visible brushwork and a warm, aged finish.

Collected in Paris. One of a kind.
