André Ragot was a naval officier and French watercolorist. Indeed he is also recognized as intimate watercolourist, and left many works and sketches taken from life, in particular of young sailors (he met all his models and each of his works keeps on the back the name, profession, year, the place in all the ports he visited). He also brought back numerous watercolors from the Far East, Indochina and the Middle East. He was also an eminent member of the association of friends of Pierre Loti, of the Renan circle and of the Rationalist Union.
