Study of a beach with the shore in the foreground and water and sky in the background. The original Le Franc Bourgeois ink anchor stamp is present on the stretcher bars en verso. No signature found. In used condition with craquelure throughout. Please refer to photos for details.
In 1880, Le Franc Bourgeois widely applied this round anchor emblem to the backs of their factory-prepared canvases and wooden stretcher bars, as a means of authenticating pre-stretched canvases sold through their flagship Paris shops and global retailers. Together with the pattern of craquelure across the surface, the stamp suggests a date in the early twentieth century.
