AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pencil and charcoal drawing on thick cotton paper, created in 1840 by the artist Auguste Borget (1808-1877). A highly regarded 19th-century artist, known mainly for his exotic landscapes produced during his numerous travels.
The drawing in question portrays a beautiful scene of typical Chinese fishermen of the time on a river near Canton.
The drawing is titled and signed on the front, lower right ("près de Canton, A. Borget") and signed and dated 1840 on the back.
The work is presented in a wooden frame with a cork mat and fixed between two sheets of glass (front/back).
The drawing was purchased by me from a gallery in France between 2021 and 2022 and is accompanied by a gallery provenance authenticity statement.
The work will be shipped insured and with professional packaging.
