Achille Fouquier (1817-1895?) 20: "studies Of Abyssiniens

Achille Fouquier (1817-1895?) 20 “Abyssinian studies” pencil drawing enhanced with white stone on beige paper, 30 X 47 cm at sight, signed with the stamp of the signature circa 1853, framed by a Marie-Louis stained 50 X 65 cm. Lots of light, photo-oxidized freckles on part of a cross fold, tears and stains. This drawing, in spite of its condition, is a wonderful document for clothing, postures, as well as studies of full-length tools and weapons. 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 Do not hesitate to ask us for photos or additional information by email or phone.
