Provenance: Livre d'Or de Yves Guerin, compiled 1963–1992 (single-owner provenance). Dated from the collector's Casino de Dinard period; Watbot was honoured posthumously at the Musee du Chateau de Dinan, nearby in Brittany.
Description: A vigorous, gestural view of Rome — domes and bell-towers rising against a blue sky, drawn with bold black felt-tip and brush over warm washes of brown, ochre and blue, the whole boldly abstracted in a few sweeping strokes. Robert Watbot was a French painter born in Paris in 1942, trained at St Martin's School of Art in London, who travelled to Brazil before returning to France; a painter of landscape, still life and the figure, he was the subject of a posthumous homage at the Musee du Chateau de Dinan in 1999. Signed, dated and dedicated by hand.
