ALBERT-FERNAND RENAULT (1887-) listed French art beautiful nude study watercolor painting

Fine Art : Drawings : French Art

 
This is a beautiful sketch in watercolor, 25" by 19" (37" by 29" as framed/matted) of a female nude, stamped in blue estate stamp at bottom "Fernand Renault". ALBERT-FERNAND RENAULT (1887-?) was an academic painter and teacher who won the gold medal at the Salon des Artistes in 1931. There doesn't seem to be that much information on him but the skill of the artist, with just a number of strokes of a brush, is plain to see. Obviously he understood the nude. The drawing is perhaps from a large format sketch book and should be viewed as being a sketchy, incomplete work, beautiful as is. There are a few unexplained soiled areas and stains, the most obvious being one about 1 3/4" by 3/4" at bottom right just above the stamped signature, another near her hand, and on her thight, but none of these meaningfully detract from the art.
