AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Oil on paper by Roger Bissière, created around 1946, depicting a small horse.
This work sits at a pivotal moment in the artist's career: the subject remains legible and figurative, but one already clearly perceives the beginnings of the abstraction that will profoundly mark his later work. The simplification of forms, the construction through masses, and the sensitivity of the material herald the mature plastic language of Bissière.

This composition is of particular interest: a tapestry reproduced in a reference work devoted to Roger Bissière (see photo) appears to have been created, in all likelihood, after this work, underscoring its importance in the artist's creative process.

The artwork comes from a fine private collection and is accompanied by its certificate of authenticity (see photo).
A rare, coherent collection, ideal for a collector sensitive to transitional works, where one of the major turning points in modern French painting is unfolding.
