On the other hand it is also registered c kawasseg fils (1808 -1904) painter specialized in the painting of the breton coasts, the north sea and norman landscapes undoubtedly tracks to dig for the precise identification of the artist who painted this painting, knowing that isabey was a painter who did not always sign his works. Condition: the frame has some small shocks, and lacks material, without great seriousness. The wooden panel, it has the beginning of a crack in the lower part (to be redone at the same time as a possible stripping of varnish), a vertical scratch at the level of the houses. The varnish is of the period and therefore partially yellowed, and would deserve to be redone, in order to find beautiful bright colors.
