French Riviera beach scene oil on canvas 1950

The palm trees, the boats, the village, the port, the church, the beach below, and in the center a car, a black citroen, incongruous and poetic in this summer scene on the edge of the mediterranean at the hour a nap, in this not quite sleepy village, under the palm trees. But what is this car doing that comes from the city parked at the port. And where is the driver, in shirt sandals and a straw hat, is he heading towards the striped canvas of a store at the port. Mysterious oil on canvas 36.5cm.
