Antique Painting Oil on Canvas Lock of Neuilly-sur-Marne 1948 signed Bern Art

  
Depicting the lock and the beach of Neuilly-sur-Marne, in the Paris region. The work, painted just after World War II, captures a peaceful moment on the Marne: shimmering reflections, trees golden in the sun, a summer sky filled with softness. This painting is distinguished by several handwritten inscriptions on the back.

"Lock of Neuilly-sur-Marne and the beach" "To the daughter of one of my friends, with all sympathy - the author Bern, 28/08/1952" "View of the Marne from the bridge by boat." There is also a stamp with a marine anchor, probably the artist's seal. A rare and deeply human work, symbolizing the return to serenity after the war. Year: 1948 (dedication dated 1952 on the back).

Subject: The lock and the beach of Neuilly-sur-Marne. Dimensions: Height: 38 cm (15") Width: 61 cm (24"). Signature: Bern, 1948 (bottom right).
