Large Coastal Landscape Oil on Canvas c. 1900 in a Handsome Gilt Wood Frame - 57" x 45¾"

This large scale oil on canvas captures the quiet beauty of the Breton coastline, with stone houses and rugged rocky shores set beneath a luminous sky. Small sailing boats animate the horizon, bringing a gentle sense of movement to the composition, while the soft marine light and muted palette create a serene and atmospheric scene. The generous proportions give the painting strong decorative presence.

Signed 'M.Richard' at the lower right, the painting is presented in a very beautiful late 19th century gilt wood frame whose richly textured molding enhances the depth and warmth of the composition. Craquelure and small scattered paint losses can be seen throughout, consistent with the age of the work.

A timeless and atmospheric painting, particularly well suited to an elegant coastal interior.
