Beautiful composition by Georges Borgeaud depicting a serene European boat harbor. Borgeaud was best known for his landscape oil paintings. This is a fine example of his work in very nice condition. My price of $1299 is extremely reasonable and far below what one would be expected to pay for it in a gallery or at auction. 

Please view my other paintings listed on ebay this week--we are adding a new bunch every Thursday. If not sold they will go into my ebay store at a more realistic and higher buy-it-now price, or removed.
