14 7⁄8 x 21 1⁄4in. (37.8 x 50.9cm.)
A native of Trinidad and the island's most accomplished nineteenth century artist, Cazabon was schooled in England from 1827 to 1830. His first pictures date to his return to Trinidad in 1830 prior to his departure to Paris to study art in 1837. He spent ten years in Europe, based in Paris, and exhibited a dozen canvases at the Salon between 1839 and 1847, mostly French and Italian landscapes and marines, before returning to Trinidad in 1848.

Auction result well in line with expectations
In November 2020 Christies in London held the auction Topographical Pictures, including China Trade Paintings. ARCTIC · AMERICAS · AFRICA · ASIA · AUSTRALASIA · ANTARCTICA, which included the work Shipping In A Swell Off The French Coast by Michel Jean Cazabon. The price achieved of GBP 12,500.00 (€ 13,954.22) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 10,000.00 – 15,000.00. Admittedly, works by Michel Jean Cazabon have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Saint-Pierre, Martinique in October 2019 with an auction result of GBP 118,750.00 (€ 137,741.48).
