Achille Fouquier : "firenze"

Achille Fouquier (1817-1895?) "Florence" pen drawing and light sepia ink wash of dimensions approximately 20 X 14 cm cm, signed with the signature stamp and annotated with the situation and the date (1844?) , framed with a marie-louise cream mat with golden bevel mounted in a stranded frame with very beautiful gilding 33 X 27 cm,
Despite the light rednesses, this drawing showing us a square (della Signorina?) Surrounded by typical houses with the Campanile in the background is charming and delicate.
An indefatigable traveler, Achille Fouquier brought back sketches, anecdotes and observations from his many trips, collected in 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 testimony to the history of these regions
