The Little White Boats, Cap Ferrat (1921) – Sir John Lavery
Collector’s Edition Museum-Quality Fine Art Print
Bring the glow of the French Riviera into your home with this 40×50 cm (16×20″) museum-quality Collector’s Edition reproduction of The Little White Boats, Cap Ferrat by renowned Irish painter Sir John Lavery. Painted in 1921 on the glittering coast of Cap Ferrat, the work captures a quiet inlet where tiny white boats float on shimmering turquoise water beneath sunlit limestone cliffs.
Lavery’s masterful handling of light and colour—cobalt and teal water, with soft peach and coral reflections on the cliffs—evokes the warmth, ease, and stillness of a Mediterranean afternoon. Broad, confident brushstrokes give the sea a gently moving, almost abstract quality, making this piece feel both calming and contemporary.
Art, History and the Riviera
This painting belongs to an important period in Lavery’s career, when he travelled widely and painted outdoors in brilliant southern light. During his time on the Riviera he also painted alongside his friend and pupil, Winston Churchill, who is known to have sketched and painted in similar settings. Owning this print means owning a fragment of that shared artistic story: an Irish master, a future statesman, and the luminous coast they both admired.
