The vivid colors of this model for the lithograph Bateau de pêche à la Ponche, features a charming tartane, introducing a happy Mediterranean year for the artist. This typical Saint-Tropez boat attracts the viewer’s eye with its elegant simplicity and distinctive graphics. Its water-green hull structure stands out. The obliquely closed sail adds a touch of realism to the whole.
