Description :
This large and beautifully composed oil on panel depicts a serene Mediterranean coastal inlet bathed in soft southern light. Measuring over one meter in width, the painting has an impressive panoramic presence, offering both decorative impact and atmospheric depth.
In the foreground, a fisherman stands steady in his white and blue wooden boat, drawing in his nets as gentle ripples shimmer around the hull. The brushwork in the water is fluid and confident, capturing delicate reflections in tones of blue, silver, and pale green. Sun-warmed rocks emerge from the shallows, painted in rich ochres and terracotta hues that contrast elegantly with the cool surface of the sea.
To the right, a moored boat rests along a sandy bank edged with maritime vegetation. Umbrella pines lean gracefully above the shoreline, their foliage rendered in vibrant greens with expressive, textured strokes. In the distance, a small sailboat glides quietly across the calm water, its white sail illuminated against a soft, luminous sky.
Signed “F. Borelly” in the lower right, the work reflects the tradition of 20th-century French Mediterranean painting. Executed on panel, the surface enhances the clarity of detail and the richness of the palette. Presented in a classic gilded frame that complements its warm tonal harmony, this large-scale coastal scene embodies tranquility, craftsmanship, and timeless Provençal charm.
