Beautiful old drawing circa 1930, mixed technique on paper (watercolor), the stamp of the Jean Terles Paris estate on the back, representing an original illustration project. Presentation dust jacket not included. 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 for great authors (Emile Zola, Georges Bernanos, Henri Maurois...) and teaches at the Gobelins school. He returned to Lot et Garonne at the end of the 70s and continued to work and exhibit.
