Original Chinese ink, H. Boutin – old Nantes (cathedral area).

Very beautiful original drawing in pen and Chinese ink signed by the Nantes artist Henri Boutin (active circa 1930). This work is a precious testament to the pre-war heritage of Nantes. It depicts the Square of the Psalmist, located at the east end of Nantes Cathedral. A medieval turret and the historic passage that allowed the faithful to access the entrance of the building directly can be distinguished. At a time when the heritage of the cathedral is at the forefront of attention, this original drawing captures with finesse the soul and fragility of this historic district. • Technique: Original Chinese ink on period paper. • Signature: Signed "H. Boutin" at the bottom right. • Condition: Beautiful old patina with natural oxidation spots, guaranteeing the authenticity and vintage character of the piece. • Framing: Modern black lacquer frame under glass with white mount (ready to display). Dimensions: • Frame: 33.5 cm x 43.5 cm. • Drawing (visible): 20 cm x 28.5 cm. Style: Classic, Heritage, Curiosity Cabinet.
