The certificate text (in translation from French):

"The painting reproduced on the reverse [of the certificate] was painted by Le Sidaner in May 1922, during a stay in Le Croisic, in the south of Brittany. The canvas, for which this oil on panel was a study, was presented in March 1923, at an exhibition at the Galerie Georges Petit, where the artist exhibited with his comrades Henri Martin and Ernest Laurent. It was acquired at the exhibition by his friend the painter Douaisien Henri Duhem who, a few weeks later, at his request, returned the canvas to him in order to present it at the first exhibition at the Salon des Tuileries in Paris, where it was another big success. The painting now belongs to the Marmottan-Monet Museum. The study on board reproduced on the reverse [of the certificate] was part of the success with two monographic exhibitions, in 1931 (opened in attendance of the of the Belgian Queen) and in 1934".
