Émile Gauffriaud. Marine Landscape Oil Painting on Oval Panel Signed

  

Georges-Émile Gauffriaud is a French painter, engraver, watercolorist, and lithographer born in Sézanne in the Marne in 1877. He married a woman from Lorient in June 1908. Their union produced a little girl a year later. Gauffriaud loves to convey moods, character, and atmosphere. The artist firmly chooses to paint his homeland, the sea, and boats.

In addition to his favorite subjects, he also paints some landscapes, particularly from Brittany but occasionally from Limoges as well. He undertakes a few trips to the Côte d'Azur, returning with canvases and watercolors infused with the light of midday. Oval painting signed at the bottom left Émile Gauffriaud.
