Sigismond JEANÈS

The Wave

Stephen Ongpin Fine Art

A closely comparable large watercolour study of a wave by Sigismond Jeanès appeared at auction in Paris in 1995.

A previous owner of the present sheet is said to have been Thérèse Verne, the wife of the magistrate and writer Jean-Jules Verne (1892-1980), grandson of the author Jules Verne.

Provenance: Jean-Jules and Thérèse Verne
Thence by descent to a private collection.
