G. Cervelli, The Tempest (La tempête), 1910er, Aquarell

An original 1910s watercolour painting, G. Cervelli, The Tempest (La tempête).A beautiful small painting in gouache by French cartoonist and artist G. Cervelli (fl.1910–1920). The turbulent seascape is titled 'La tempête'; whilst Cervelli's usual satire and wit appears to give way to pure colour and atmosphere here, there is perhaps an element of grandiose tongue in cheek reference to the celebrated work of the French impressionists, and indeed, in the painting's title, to the great Bard himself.There is an additional Rembrandtesque portrait sketch on the verso of a man in a feathered hat.On pale blue paper.All artworks come with a Certificate of Authenticity and—if it is a collection artwork—its accompanying collection text or artist biography.
