About the Item

Busy French Beach Scene with Parasol, Bathers and Boats on the Coast Maurice Mazeilie (French, 1924–2021) Watercolour and pencil on artist paper, unframed. Double-sided. Artwork: 6.25 × 9 inches. Provenance: from the artist’s estate sale in Paris, France. Condition: fair condition with age-related wear, staining, marks and surface imperfections, as visible in the photographs. An atmospheric original watercolour and pencil study by Maurice Mazeilie (French, 1924–2021) depicting a lively summer beach scene. A large orange parasol dominates the foreground, surrounded by numerous loosely rendered bathers enjoying the shoreline, with boats visible on the water beyond. Mazeilie captures the activity of the beach with quick, expressive pencil lines and freely applied washes of ochre, blue, orange and grey. The prominent parasol provides a strong focal point, while the scattered figures and distant sailing boats create a wonderful sense of movement and summertime activity along the coast. The work is double-sided, with an additional composition by the artist to the reverse. Maurice Mazeilie (French, 1924–2021) lived and worked in Montmartre, with a studio on the famous Place du Tertre. His love of the coast also led him to maintain a studio on the Brittany coastline, and coastal landscapes, beaches and scenes of everyday life feature prominently throughout his work. The painting has excellent provenance, having come directly from the artist’s estate sale in Paris.
