Gibralter is titled in pencil in the upper left (faint).  Côte d’Espagne is titled in pencil in the lower left.

Accompanied by a letter signed by the artist regarding the three pieces (shown in the images below).

While Signac’s watercolors are highly collectible, what elevates this specific lot to a museum-grade archival asset is the enclosed letter. Addressed from his famous Parisian studio at 15 rue Hégésippe Moreau, the letter is written to “Mon cher d’Indy” (the celebrated French composer Vincent d’Indy), in which Signac explicitly offers these exact “trois aquarelles pour cinq louis” (three watercolors for five louis) as a gesture of artistic friendship. This artist-to-artist transaction documented in the artist’s own hand adds unique historical significance and collector appeal.
