Drawing "les quais de Seine vers la Tour Eiffel" GÉRARD PAUL COCHET

Drawing by GÉRARD PAUL COCHET (1888-1969), French painter, engraver and illustrator, representing the quays of the Seine towards the Eiffel Tower. Trained at the Académie Julian in Paris with Henri Royer and Marcel Baschet, the artist developed a work devoted to landscapes, life scenes and seascapes. Appointed Official Painter of the Navy in 1925, he participated in several major Parisian salons and distinguished himself by his sense of composition and perspective. This view of Paris demonstrates his interest in urban landscapes and their atmosphere. Presented in an elegant gilded wooden frame, this drawing constitutes an interesting work by a 20th century French artist.
