Art Wanted: Sell your 19th Century Ship Portrait

We are looking for works by:

Artist:	Grandin, Eugene (French, fl. 1857-1909) - Watercolours, Gouaches and a few Oilpaintings on canvas
Place:	Worked and lived in Le Havre, France
Motifs:	Ship Portraits of Sailing Vessels and occasionally also of Steamers.
Prices:	Watercolours starting at Euro 300 (Continental Europe). Prices depend on subject, size, date, quality and condition. Please send us an e-mail to receive an exact offer for your painting (free of charge for persons considering to sell their painting).
Notes:	Grandin painted in oil on canvas and made watercolors on paper. For his watercolors he fortunately used good materials, therefore his pictures were hardly affected by the ageing process. The ship is usually shown under full sail with only a small coastline in the distance and sometimes a steamer is added. The signature (Eug. Grandin) is especially at his watercolors often microscopically small and very accurate. Information about the artist and his oeuvre can also be found in our book "Ship Portrait Artists".
Contact:	The FineArtEmporium is interested in the direct purchase of fine works by this artist and can pay a good price. Please refer to our page "Contact" and send an e-mail to bais@gmx.de with the information requested there. You will receive an answer usually within 48-72 hours (up to a week in rare cases).

Note: A very detailled executed French ship portrait of this American barque. There is evidence that there were two Eugene Grandin doing such ship portraits of a similar style in Le Havre: An earlier one (father?) in the late 1850s until the 1870s and a later one (son?) in the 1880, 1890s and until ca. 1909. Both signed Eugene Grandin, but style and signature is a little different. This is a work by the older Grandin or an early work by the artist (if it was one).
