oil on canvas, 1906

Lenormand Group, Drouot-Paris. An impressive price for Marquet explained by the fact that this work was produced during his best period. Marquet studied painting with Henri Matisse as a fellow pupil at the School of decorative Arts in Paris before frequenting the Academy of Fine Arts. he exhibited his works at the Salon des Indépendants in 1901 and at the Salon d'Automne in 1904. between 1905 and 1907 he painted Parisian scenes before working in Le Havre, St Jean de Luz, Paris again, Naples and Poissy in 1908, Hamburg, Paris in 1910, Tangiers in 1913, Collioure and Rotterdam in 1914, Marseille in 1916, Algiers, where he went on to work during many years, in 1920 and so on. Marquet travelled much through Europe and North Africa and brought back charming paintings. Though better known as painter of city views and landscapes he also painted nudes and a few portraits but seemed quite repetitive in his work. In fact his style was constantly the same as if he had quickly found an adequate and suitable way of representing what he was used to seeing. This price was impressive enough considering that his highest score lately was a bid of 2 160 000 FF ($ 315,325) for «The beach in the Sables d'Olonne», an oil on canvas of 1921 measuring 50 x 61 cm recorded in London in 1999.
