Description

An architecturally interesting etching showing a view of the Seine in France, with high, choppy water. It seems as though a ship's cargo of barrels has been lost as they float along the water. The artist has signed and dated in plate and inscribed along the lower edge. On laid.

Condition

The condition is typical for a picture of this age including some discolouration, particularly at the upper edge and plate line. There are several small losses to the edges of the paper and general dirtying to the surface.

Size

18.6 x 36.1cm (7.3" x 14.2")
Sheet: 24.2 x 39.6cm (9.5" x 15.6")

Artist Biography

Etcher and designer Lucien Gautier was born in Aix-en-Provence, where he studied art under Marius Reynaud, followed by studies in Paris with Léon Gaucherel. He worked as a journeyman etcher in Paris reproducing the work of Corot and others, but by 1875 began producing original work that was highly praised, earning him medals and awards in 1884, 1894, and 1900. He is best known for his etchings of Paris and other French cities, and also created views of London, Rome, and Venice. His work is widely held by French institutions and in numerous private collections. Gautier died in Aix-en-Provence.
