Delâtre, Standing Peasant

Standing Peasent and Cottages

Watercolor with pen and ink, ca. 1900, 227 x 302 mm, signed in ink. Eugène was the son of Auguste Delâtre, the preeminent artistic printer in France, a title he himself succeeded to. But Eugène, far more than his father, was also a creative artist, particularly in the area of color aquatint prints and watercolors. His importance has begun to be realized only in recent years, as works such as this one have come to light.
