Original Aquatint, Manuel Robbe, French, c 1930's This lovely aquatint was produced near the end of Robbe's life during which he painted many landscapes (1872-1936). This piece is untitled but is similar to a painting recently sold at auction entitled "Pont Sur la Sarthe". Both the original frame and aquatint are in excellent condition with the artist's signature in pencil on the bottom right hand corner. The work measures: 13 1/2" x 9 3/4". Manuel Robbe was born in Paris in 1872 to a Northern French family from the town of Bethune. He studied etching and painting and became an accomplished engraver specializing in aquatint. One of the most significant print publishers of the time, Edmond Sagot, was an admirer of Robbe, and regularly published color prints by him. Robbe was awarded a Gold Medal at the Universal Exhibition for his prints in 1900. Courtesy of IFPDA. Quantity :  CAD $ 525.00  Click here to ask a question about this item
