Old Drawing Animated Oriental Landscape Morocco Portrait Jean Terles Art Deco

Beautiful old drawing around 1930, mixed technique on paper, watercolor and gouache, representing an animated orientalist landscape of two women carrying children in a landscape bordered by ramparts. Coming from the back of the painter's workshop, the estate stamp visible on the back. More drawings and paintings to come soon. Total dimensions see photos. Jean Terles studied at the Beaux Arts in Paris after a degree in modern literature. He entered Lucien Simon's workshop, and continued his training at Casa Velasquez. He stayed in Morocco during the war then returned to Paris where he rubbed shoulders with Yves Brayer and Jean Dubuffet, among others. He exhibits alongside them in the major Parisian galleries. He also works as an illustrator (Emile Zola, Charles Perrault, Georges Bernanos, André Maurois, Prosper Mérimée, Jena de la Bruyere...) and teaches at the Gobelins school. He returned to Lot et Garonne at the end of the 1970s and continued to work and exhibit.
