Old Drawing Jean Terles Portrait Musician Violin Concert Purple Ink 1930

Beautiful old drawing around 1930, mixed technique on paper (watercolor), the stamp of the Jean Terles Paris estate on the back, representing an original illustration project. Jean Terles studied at the Beaux Arts in Paris after a degree in modern literature. He entered the studio of Lucien Simon and rubbed shoulders with Jean Dubuffet and Yves Brayer, among others. He continued his training at the Casa Velasquez and stayed in Morocco during the war before returning to Paris. He then exhibited in the major Parisian galleries. He also worked as an illustrator for publishing houses and illustrated the classics and moderns (Emile Zola, Georges Bernanos, Henri Maurois, etc.), then taught at the Gobelins school. He returned to Lot et Garonne at the end of the 1970s and continued to work and exhibit.
