Signed to the front on the very lower edge. This work forms part of a collection we currently hold by Miloch. This one is undated but we have a second similar painting by this artist, depicting the same figure in a similar scene which is dated '64. All the other work we have in his collection was from the later part of the 1940's. Henri Miloch was born in Trieste (Italy) in 1898 but studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris and was a member of the Society of French Artists. His life and work was very much centred in Brittany, in north west France, much of his work portrays Breton maritime life in the various ports, and local town observations, especially in the Concarneau area where he worked and exhibited for much of his artistic career. From 1959 he also had a workshop in Tours (Val de Loire). condition report: The image is in very good order with no damage and strong colour. Edges of sheet show unpainted margins, one small tear to lower edge and minor folds.
