About the Item

Etching on laid paper Sheet size: approx. 65 × 50 cm Signed in plate lower left: Beaujouin Published by Cadart & Luquet, Éditeurs, 79 Rue Richelieu, Paris With the blindstamp of the Société des Aquafortistes, lower margin This etching by Alphonse Beaujouin, titled Environs de Varennes en Argonne, presents a serene rural landscape infused with quiet poetry. The composition is divided into two vignettes, both depicting rustic dwellings nestled among trees and winding paths in the French countryside. Beaujouin’s delicate etching technique reveals a deep sensitivity to the textures of earth, foliage, and architecture, while his keen observation of light lends the scene a calm, contemplative atmosphere. Rendered with fine linear clarity and tonal richness, the work exemplifies the artist’s interest in depicting provincial life with sincerity and precision. The viewer is drawn into a tranquil world of modest homes, open skies, and rural solitude—an homage to the unassuming beauty of nature and the endurance of rural France. Excellent impression on laid paper, with full margins. Minor surface tone and small scattered foxing consistent with age; otherwise in very fine condition. Alphonse Beaujouin, a painter and etcher active in the mid-19th century, was known for his evocative representations of the French countryside. Associated with the Société des Aquafortistes, Beaujouin contributed to the revival of original etching championed by Alfred Cadart and Félix Bracquemond. His prints often balance structural precision with lyrical softness, reflecting the aesthetic ideals of the Barbizon circle while maintaining a personal intimacy with rural subjects. Environs de Varennes en Argonne is a fine example of his ability to convey the gentle vitality of nature through refined draughtsmanship and subtle atmospheric tone.

Final state published by in an editon of 12 by Garton & Cooke in 1982 (Nicolson published an edition of 40 in 1927). In states iii and iv, the swallow of the title was removed.
