An original artwork from a drawing class at a Parisian Art School.
An examination piece, a croquis en colour (a coloured sketch) for an excercise in dessin a vue et geometral (sight drawing and geometry).
Dated March 1942. Paris was occupied by German forces at the time.
The painting shows a beach, buckets and spades. An inset shows the bucket from different angles. The school for boys and young men where the piece was created was situated at 109 Rue Parmentier, Ville de Paris.
The artwork seems to be to be drawn in pencil, and painted using watercolour and gouache.
Size: 27 x 21 cms.
Condition: Very Good. The paper is very fine, it has been folded into quarters. It is lightly tanned and a little creased but otherwise clean. There is writing in ink on the reverse side.
