Signed lower left Bonnard

On the back, on the canvas, Douane centrale stamp; on the stretcher, from left to right: printed label MINISTERE DE L’EDUCATION NATIONALE / REUNION DES MUSEES NATIONAUX / MUSEE NATIONAL D’ART MODERNE; label INTERNATIONAL ART TRANSPORT of Paris for the exhibition Exposition Bonnard  in Munich and Paris with reference number (3855), title (La Croisette à Cannes), dimensions, and name of the lender (Marcel Beurdely, Paris); another label from an art transport company in Paris with the artist, title, and dimensions of the work; label for the 1955 exhibition with title, dimensions, name of the lender, and other references; other reference numbers and inscriptions.


Bonnard's career was extensive, spanning more than sixty years and exploring the most diverse realms of art.

He tackled every subject and expressed himself with ease and conviction in every genre.

He painted portraits, landscapes, seascapes, and still lifes. He enjoyed painting interiors, depicting village festivals and scenes of Parisian life. He created large-scale decorations. He was a lithographer, etcher, and book illustrator.

Throughout his life, his restless imagination continued to search for new panoramas, horizons, and unknown skies, pausing here and there, always fascinated by an unexpected beauty he could discover in Auvergne as in Bourgogne, in Provence no less than in Normandy, always motivated by a universal sympathy for beings and things.
