Lithograph by Yves Brayer

This item is a color lithograph attributed to the renowned French artist Yves Brayer (1907-1990). The artwork depicts a scenic landscape, likely a Mediterranean or Provençal coastal scene, which was a hallmark of Brayer's mid-20th-century figurative style. The composition features a harbor or waterfront area with architectural elements in the background, possibly indicating a specific locale like Saint-Tropez or the Camargue region. The color palette is composed of muted earth tones, ochres, and soft greens, characteristic of the artist's lithographic work. The piece is housed in a dark, possibly wooden or charcoal-finished frame with visible grain texture. The image quality limitations make it difficult to discern a specific edition number or signature, though these are typically found in the lower margins of Brayer's prints. The condition appears stable within the frame, though there is a noticeable pinkish glare or artifact in the lower section of the image provided. Based on the style and typical production years of the artist, this piece likely dates to the 1960s or 1970s. The craftsmanship reflects the mid-century Parisian school's dedication to high-quality printmaking, using traditional stone lithography techniques to achieve layered, painterly effects.
