Théodore GUDIN (1802–1880), attributed to
"Demoiselle de Fontenailles" in Longues-sur-Mer
Oil on canvas.
H_22 cm W_30.5 cm
Our small oil painting depicts one of the famous “Demoiselles de Fontenailles.” This natural formation was created by erosion caused by waves eroding the limestone rock. Legend has it that three sisters were petrified with terror as they watched the ship carrying their fiancés sink, swept away by the raging waves.
Our painting is likely a sketch or a reworking of a larger composition, of which an engraving exists.
