A charming oil on canvas depicting a picturesque view of Harfleur, the historic Normandy town near Étretat, circa 1930s. The composition captures the town’s distinctive architecture, church spire, stone bridge, and tranquil waterway beneath a luminous, cloud-filled sky. Reflections in the canal and expressive brushwork lend the scene atmosphere and movement, while the muted palette is enlivened by touches of blue, green, and warm terracotta. Signed “Jean Pernel” at the lower right, the painting is presented in a beautifully carved Montparnasse frame with an aged gilt finish, rich ornamentation, and an appealing patina that complements the work’s period character.
