George Louis Viavant (American/New Orleans, 1872-1925), "Daybreak on the Bayou", watercolor on board, signed lower center left, 8 1/8 in. x 20 3/4 in., matted and framed.
- Provenance: Provenance: Descended in the family of a friend and hunting companion of the artist, New Orleans. Note: An avid hunter and fisherman, as well as a talented artist, George Louis Viavant combined his two passions to create a successful career as a painter of swamp scenes and nature mortes of the indigenous animals of Southern Louisiana. Using his preferred medium of watercolor on paper, Viavant captures in this evocative painting the peaceful moment when the sun rises over the bayou. Often, his clients were hunting and fishing friends and acquaintances who brought their daily catch to be painted by the artist.
