Dimensions 35 cm x 27 cm circa first part of the 20th century. a few spots of minor freckles visible in the photograph. Extract from the Lorrain website: “He was born in Vertus in Champagne but, as a Franc-Comtois resident, he spent part of his life in Bar le Duc and he exhibited extensively in the Salons of Nancy and in certain art galleries in the city. His emotional link with Lorraine is undeniable and therefore we will consider him as a Lorraine cousin. In the "Lorraine country" we find his name in 1934 in the excellent article "The artistic movement in Nancy" by Emile Nicolas, in 1936 or in an issue of 1959 on the occasion of the Salon of "L'Union des artistes from the east". »
