Ville d'Avray (after C. Corot)

Ville d'Avray is a beautiful original black and white etching and aquatint on ivory-colored paper, realized at the end of the XIX century by the French artist  Charles Pinet  (1867-1932),  after  Camille Corot , one of the most sensible French landscapist of the XIX century.

Title etched in capital letters at the center of the lower margin, and on sides the inscriptions " C. Corot pinx. / Ch. Pinet sculp. " Inscription on plate and in capital letters " Corot ", on the lower margin.

This original print, in full margins and with a lifetime impression, is in very good conditions, except for a usual yellowing of the paper on the edges and light foxing along the margins: the image is completely untouched. White cardboard passepartout included (34 x 49 cm).

A really pleasant French landscape to give to you and your house a sense of peace and harmony.

Charles Pinet  (Paris, 1867 - 1932)

The French engraver and painter, was introduced to etching by Paul Taconnet, professor of mathematics and drawing. Student of Gustave Moreau, he moved to Paris where he devoted himself completely to etching.

He realized above all engravings of copies of drawings by well-known artists, like Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot and Honoré Daumier, and a big production of medium or large format etchings of French cities, particularly Paris, with their religious buildings.
