Lot description
Drawing, black, white and grey wash over black chalk, 32 x 23,7 cm, laid paper, unsigned (right edge reinforced at verso, some minor stains).
With barely a few diagonal strokes of wash, a clever use of the grey ground layer, and some rough outlines of trees, d'Artois was able to create a dynamic forest landscape.
