Lot Essay

Another version, but larger, also attributed to Frederic Roux is illustrated in The Artful Roux - Marine Painters of Marseille by Philip Chadwick Foster Smith, published by The Peabody Museum of Salem, 1978, on Pages 54 and 55 (No. 100)

It is thought that this fine watercolour was made by Frederic from one of his father's originals
