Very beautiful old drawing circa 1930, blue ink wash and gouache highlights on Japanese Cream paper, the stamp of the estate of Jean Terles Paris on the back, representing a lively scene of a Parisian market under the Halle at daybreak. Coming from the depths of the painter's studio, other drawings to come soon. Total dimensions: 27 cm x 21 cm. Jean Terles studied at the Beaux Arts in Paris after a degree in modern literature. He entered the studio of Lucien Simon, and continued his training at the Casa Velasquez. He stayed in Morocco during the war then returned to Paris where he rubbed shoulders with Yves Brayer and Jean Dubuffet, among others. He exhibited alongside them in the major Parisian galleries. He also worked as an illustrator and taught at the Gobelins school. He returned to Lot et Garonne at the end of the 70s and continued to work and exhibit.
