This drawing comes from a set of 4 complete sketchbooks by the painter. They are not signed but come from the studio of Théodore Gudin, many drawings are also annotated by his hand. The drawings in these notebooks are made in pencil, charcoal or ink. They are stuck on a sheet of paper (which may be slightly torn, dented or stained see photos). Please take a good look at the pictures before buying. * GUDIN Théodore Jean Antoine, known as Baron Born August 15, 1802 in Paris Died April 12, 1880.
