About the Item

Désiré Auguste GHESQUIER Lille, 1861 – Lille, 1934 Portrait of an Italian Woman from the Back Watercolor on paper Signed lower right "D. Ghesquier" 39.5 x 27 cm (43.5 x 30.5 cm with frame) Beautiful gilt trim Very good condition This is a very fine and elegant drawing by a French architect from the North of France who was studying in Italy in the 1880s. Désiré Auguste Ghesquier was an architect and watercolorist from Lille. A student of Vandenbergh and Canissié, he then worked with the architect Gustave Jouay and was a certified expert architect for the Nord department. Between 1883 and 1887, he was a resident of the Atelier Wicar in Italy. It was there that he produced some very beautiful watercolors of monuments in Rome (ceiling of the Villa of Pope Julius II, plan and elevation of the churches of Saint Lawrence and Saint John Lateran) and elsewhere in Italy (church of Santa Croce in Florence (monument to Marsuppini, plan and elevation), monument to Archbishop Guidobaldo in Messina, view of the ruins of Pompeii). Here, he elegantly depicted a young Italian woman from behind, with beautiful colors and a very architectural design of the dress!
