Mathurin MEHEUT (1882-1958). The old horse, or the collection of seaweed on the island of Batz Gouache on paper, monogrammed lower right. Located and dated 10.10.1912. H_48 cm L_62,5 cm. It is very probably the work n°281 of the catalog of the exhibition Mathurin Méheut, the sea fauna and flora, various works, in the museum of Decorative Arts in 1913. On the reverse, two articles from the Illustration, including the article by Henri Lavedan published in the issue of November 8, 1913, evoking our gouache: "And I also remember the figure of this old naked horse, with red hair, in a gypsy bridle, loaded with bundles of wallflower-colored seaweed coming up on each side like the hard clothes of a comanche warrior.... and which, hooves in the pebbles, remains motionless, rump to the gust... with an almost human air of inexpressible annihilation..."
