'Grazing Horses in the Camargue', pen and ink on paper, by Genevieve Gallibert (circa 1930s). Like her famous French counterpart, Yves Brayer, Gallibert was also known for her artworks depicting the landscapes, wildlife and people of the Camargue region of the South of France, near Arles. She painted this tranquil scene of the famous white horses from the region with the Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer village and church in the background. Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer is the capital of the Camargue, which is a vast, swampy delta near Arles, very exotic, with tall marsh grasses where pink flamingos, black bulls and white horses roam freely. Although there are many horses that still run free in the Camargue, there are cowboys — called gardians — who ride the white horses on the beaches and herd black cattle. The piece is in fair overall condition showing some discolouration and fading. The artwork is in its original frame. It is signed by the artist in the lower left hand. Please enjoy the many photos accompanying the listing. Upon request a video will be provided.
