A painting from the early career of French artist Auguste Herbin (1882-1960) appeared on the market for the first time in nearly a century at Gildings’ Market Harborough salerooms on March 28.
Although best known as a Cubist and abstract painter, the vibrant colour palette and rapidly- applied paint of Maisons au Quai Vert, Bruges, dated 1906, marks the apogee of Herbin’s Fauvist style.
