Jean Charles Cazin FRENCH: 1840-1900
THE ARTIST’S STUDIO—BOULOGNE
Height, 5½ inches; length, 8½ inches
From a rounded hilltop in the foreground, which is covered with rankly growing reeds and low bushes, the vista extends across a rolling country to the horizon, where the level line of the sea meets the sky. In the distance, on the left, a coppice in autumn foliage covers the hillside, and on the right the slopes are broken by patches of cultivated land. A few low, drifting clouds contrast with a high stratum of cirri, through rifts in which is seen the soft luminous summer sky.
Signed at the lower left, J. C. Cazin.
