Description
Ferdinand LOYEN DU PUIGAUDEAU (1864–1930) Moonlight over the Old Guardhouse at Le Croisic Oil on canvas, signed lower right Minor signs of wear and small areas where paint is missing Canvas dimensions 60 x 73 cm In its substantial stuccoed and gilded wooden frame Dimensions 84 cm x 98 cm Here, Ferdinand Loyen du Puigaudeau presents an almost symbolist vision of the wild coastline, yet the presence of sails in the distance reminds us that this quasi-mystical moonlight is also a time of labour for the fishermen of Le Croisic. Provenance: private collection, Angers. This painting is listed in the archives of the Ferdinand du Puigaudeau Catalogue Raisonné by Mr Antoine Laurentin. We would like to thank Mr Antoine Laurentin for kindly confirming the authenticity of this work. A certificate of authenticity may be provided upon request and at the successful bidder’s expense.
