Since its establishment in the 1860s, Deauville has developed into one of France’s most fashionable seaside resorts. Opened in 1923, its beachfront promenade, ‘Les Planches’, with its beach cabins and colourful parasols, became an emblem of elegant summer holidays. Alongside numerous Impressionist artists, Kees van Dongen in particular captured Deauville’s lively beach scenes in his paintings. Decades later, Jean-Pierre Cassigneul revisits this pictorial world. ‘Promenade sur Les Planches’ depicts an elegantly dressed woman strolling along the celebrated promenade with a pram and a dog. Framed by the characteristic blue beach tents and decorative flags, the scene evokes memories of summers past. * The full tax is charged on this item marked *, i.e. VAT is charged on the sum will be refunded to Purchasers providing a validly stamped export declaration.
