Hello. I am offering this old work in ink and white chalk on brown watercolor paper. This landscape on the heights probably resembles a place in Algeria under a Mediterranean sun. The vegetation appears arid with brightness from left to right for a contrast between sun and half-light. This scene is animated by a few characters. We can see in the distance some historical monuments, two minarets, a mosque, as well as two steles in the foreground on the edge of the dirt road. On the horizon, the sea with two boats gives a very beautiful depth and a large space. This drawing of great finesse is the work of a professional artist, research on the monogram at the bottom right is to be done. Dimensions of the frame: 32 cm X 26 cm. Dimensions of the work: 17.5 cm X 13 cm. The orientalist-style wooden frame is more recent. It is robust and contrasts with the finesse of the drawing. This frame has been cleaned and remains in perfect condition, ready to be hung as a souvenir of one of Algeria's exceptional landscapes. The whole piece is considered to be in very good condition, with its 150 years of existence. A photo with a powerful UV lamp is offered to authenticate the original work. Very reliable seller.
