Belgian landscape.

Drawing, charcoal, 11,4 x 33,1 cm, thick brown paper, ms. signature lower left (waterstains, some spots, edges sl. frayed).

Glued on mod. support, under passe-partout.

A wide panoramic landscape with villages and houses. Most likely originating from a sketchbook which Boulanger used to make hasty impressions during his many walks south of Brussels. In a famous portrait of the artist by Guillaume Vogels, the artist can be seen holding one of these sketchbooks. Boulanger (1837-1874) was a prominent figure of the Tervuren School of landscape painting. He is sometimes thought of as as the "Belgian Corot". The drawing also contains a ms. note and signature of the artist to Mme Julie Lemaire. Some vague sketches on verso.
