Claude Chopy – The Sedan – Watercolor – Signed – 20th Century

This horizontal watercolor depicts a beautiful sedan pulled by two horses in a rural landscape. The occupant of the carriage is wearing a top hat, as is the coachman. The two horses appear to be galloping. In the background, there is a hilly landscape with a village, which appears to be the same as the one featured in the other watercolor by the same artist that we are offering. These two illustrations could be part of the same set.

The work is in very good condition. It is mounted under a passepartout and glass, framed with a molded and gilded baguette. It is signed in ink in the lower left corner.

This work was created by Claude Chopy, a French illustrator, born in 1916 and died in 1995. He specialized in book illustration and worked for various prestigious publishers. He notably illustrated Letters from My Windmill by Alphonse Daudet, Rebecca by Daphné du Maurier, The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas.

He worked mainly in watercolor and produced color illustrations, often reproduced outside the text in luxury editions. His works demonstrate great technical finesse, particularly visible in his nature and hunting scenes.
