Marcel Mouly Painting "Hong Kong Harbor" (1979) - Help Identifying

kyanite · June 13, 2023 3:55PM

I have a painting by the French artist "Marcel Mouly", in the back there's an certificate of authenticity claiming that the name of the painting is "Hong Kong Harbor":

The problem is that, when I search the name of the painting in the internet I get images totally differently from the painting I have.

This is the one I have:

In the internet I saw this site claiming that this is the Hong Kong Harbor made by M. Mouly:

https://www.wellergalleries.com/product/marcel-mouly-hong-kong-harbor/

Maybe the certificate was put in the wrong frame? I don't think I have the painting from the site above.

Extra Question: For some reason, Marcel Mouly's signature changes in some paintings, but I have seen both versions of his signature in the internet. Is this normal?

Welcome, but I’m genuinely curious why you thought this would be the place to ask about paintings.

I had the same question as above…. But I did a google image search of your copy and found a bunch of links to it for sale with references to Venice and gondolas…

Here’s an eBay listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/304597978048

You would have better results in an Art/Painting message board or taking your painting to your local art gallery, etc.

You said you've been all over the internet trying to find info. I did a quick Google search on the Artist and title and one of the first results listed was a gallery specializing in this specific artist and the works of his studio. Seems a quick call or email would have all your questions answered.

I know nothing about it but it says right on the certificate, "lithograph". so it is not a painting and the value is probbly limited

For sure, and with a run of 275 that's not a very limited printing. Lots out there.
