an interesting post-impressionist work entitled “squall in the landes” by the artist s. Nanzy, which captures the atmosphere of a storm on the coast of the french landes region, created in the 1890s in france.

the work is executed using a mixed technique of watercolor and gouache on cardboard. It depicts the turbulent atmospheric phenomenon of gales on the coast. The palette, limited to a scale of grays, blues, and earthy and reddish accents, creates a tense sky that threatens the shore. The brushwork is loose, avoiding detailed work in favor of prioritizing movement. The human figures are barely sketched on the sand. The piece is presented framed in a period gilt molding with vegetal decoration and a beige passe-partout. This piece has an attribution mark,
