Achille Fouquier : Mountain Village In Eriguem

Drawing in pencil and white stone highlight on beige paper, representing characters dressed in Greek in a village at the foot of the mountains, size 30 X 46 cm, signed with the monogram and stamp of the signature and annotated, framed by a passe-partout in marie-louise cream with beveled gold 43 X 52 cm, trace of nails around it. Untiring traveler Achille Fouquier (1817-1895?) Brought back sketches, anecdotes, and observations from several books that were published. Whether from the Basque Country (he was mayor of Saint-Jean-de-Luz), Italy, Greece, the Balkans or the Middle East, his drawings taken from life are the testimony of the history of these regions.
