Paul Ducrest : In Bresse

We know very little about this fabulous pastellist Paul Ducrest: he worked during the last third of the nineteenth in the whole of the eastern half of France, even making incursions in Switzerland ...
An accuracy that does not exclude poetry, he seems to catch the light to put it on his pastels! Here, the return of these schoolboys near the bressanne cottage is lit by a veiled sun, which we can guess through the cloud cover.
Pastel 51X73 cm in a large frame late nineteenth wood and gold a little rugged, recent pH neutral installation.
Can do while with the next.
