Léon Detroy (1859-1955) - Original Colored Pencil Drawing - Village Landscape
Artist: Léon Detroy
Superb original pencil and pastel drawing, signed lower right by Léon Detroy (1859-1955), a central figure and precursor of the Crozant School.
This work brilliantly illustrates the artist's mastery of landscape art. It depicts a village with red-tiled roofs, structured by wooden fences in the foreground, set against a mountainous cirque bathed in soft light. It features Detroy's synthetic, modern touch, on the edge of Post-Impressionism and Fauvism.
