The distinctive reddish-brown sails rise against a luminous sky filled with delicate pink clouds, while distant boats disappear into the hazy horizon. Signed by the artist at the lower left and presented in an exceptional, richly ornamented antique gilt frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Indochinese Union was formally established in 1887, bringing together several French-controlled territories under a French colonial administration. Traditional wooden sailing vessels transported goods, fish and passengers along the coast and through the extensive river systems of Southeast Asia. For European artists, these distinctive boats, with their unusual hulls and richly coloured sails, offered subjects very different from the familiar fishing vessels of Normandy and Brittany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood antique condition with age-related surface character consistent with its period. Recently cleaned with varnished removed and revarnished. The elaborate antique gilt frame retains a beautiful historic patina, with expected rubbing, marks, darkening and small areas of wear to the gilded ornamentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRobert Dumont-Duparc (1866–1930) was a French painter active during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His work reflects the growing fascination among European artists with distant landscapes, unfamiliar cultures and maritime subjects during a period of expanding international travel and colonial activity. The painting is signed by Dumont-Duparc at the lower left, with a small additional inscription beneath the signature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRobert Dumont-Duparc (1866–1930)\u003cbr\u003eFrench School\u003cbr\u003eCirca 1890\u003cbr\u003eOil painting\u003cbr\u003eTraditional Southeast Asian sailing vessel\u003cbr\u003eFrench Indochina maritime subject\u003cbr\u003eSigned lower left\u003cbr\u003eOrnate antique gilt frame\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizing incl Frame: \u003cbr\u003eHeight: 14.76 inch (37.5cm)\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 16.93  inch (43cm)\u003cbr\u003eDepth: 2.56 inch (6.5cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizing Painting: \u003cbr\u003eHeight: 8.46 inch (21.5cm)\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 10.63 inch (27cm)\u003cbr\u003eFREE International Shipping\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInsurance:\u003cbr\u003eAll products are shipped in good boxes and very well packaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll products are shipped fully insured for international shipping.
