Sheet 29.7 × 21 cm (11 ⅝ × 8 ¼ in.)

Note: A catalogue raisonné exists (Lydia Harambourg, Bibliothèque des arts, 2001); given Brayer’s active market and the circulation of copies, an authentication certificate from the artist’s estate is recommended before sale.

Provenance: Livre d’Or de Yves Guérin, compiled 1963–1992 (single-owner provenance; the dedications place the collector in the Riviera and Dinard casino milieu).

Description: Camargue horses — the single most iconic subject of Yves Brayer, master of the École de Paris and member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts (1957). A lifelong traveller (Spain, Morocco, Italy) who settled in Provence and the Camargue, Brayer is celebrated for his luminous Mediterranean light and his lifelong passion for horses; the Musée Yves Brayer was founded at Les Baux-de-Provence in 1991. Painted in watercolour and dedicated by hand in the collector’s guest book.
