Signed 'Edward Seago' bottom left, oil on canvas
26 x 36 1/8 in. (66 x 91.8cm)
Provenance: The Estate of Andre and Nancy Brewster, Maryland.
NOTE:
The lower Normandy town of Honfleur was one of Seago’s favorite subjects. Beginning in 1951, he travelled there often and painted the local topography and environs – including its quay, harbor, harbor steps, fishing boats and fishermen – as executed in the morning, afternoon, and evening hours. His deft touch, warm palette and ability to effectively capture the effects of dappled sunlight glistening off the port waters are fully on display in the present painting.
