This painting comes from the Salon at BHV, the famous department store in central Paris, and it has a sticker on the reverse to show this on the gilded frame.
 
Full of energy and colour, this oil on board painting of yachts sailing under blue Mediterranean skies in the South of France in the impressionistic style is a delight. 
 
The paint is gloriously thickly applied and vibrant, to portray the movement and choppiness of the sea and  the boats reflected in it. 
 
The painting is signed indistinctly in the bottom right.
 
The framed painting measures 16" by 13"
