Fishing Boats in Antibes - Watercolor, 1927 by A. de Torcy 17"

This lovely 1927 watercolor, signed A. de Torcy, depicts a peaceful harbor scene in Antibes. A row of traditional fishing boats is gently docked along the sunlit pier, their reflections softly rippling in the tranquil blue water. The artist captures the warmth of the Mediterranean light, with soft shadows cast on the stone pier, where fishing nets are casually piled. The use of delicate pastel tones and light brushstrokes brings a sense of calm and serenity to the composition, perfectly evoking the charm of the French Riviera.

The painting is housed in a simple, dark wood frame with a subtle decorative pattern, complementing the scene without detracting from the artwork’s focus. This understated frame enhances the timeless appeal of the painting.
