Au Bois de Boulogne is an original modern artwork realized in the first decades of the XX Century by the French artist Henri Farge (1884-1970). Original etching on ivory paper. Passepartout included (40 x 28.5 cm). Hand-signed in pencil by the artist on the lower right corner: Henri Farge. Numbered in pencil on the lower left corner: 22-90. Excellent conditions. Excellent B/W etching on ivory paper depicting an interior of a wood with a human figure on the right side illuminated by a ray of sun. The chiaroscuro creates magical shadows all over the surface and the trunks of the trees create a great verticality. This work has been realized by the French artist and engraver Henri Farge (Paris, 1884 - 1970). He worked as a painter, engraver, and illustrator depicting figure and genre scenes. Farge studied for five years in Venice and Rome. In Paris, he exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français, where he won a silver medal in 1966. He also illustrated books by Claude Farrere, including L’Homme qui assassina (The Man Who Killed), Devambez (1926), and Pierre Loti. less
