Louis SOUTTER (1871-1942), "Façade sculptée", Indian ink and pen on brown paper. H. 32.5 x 25 cm This Egyptian-inspired composition was produced on larger-format paper, allowing Soutter to clarify his subject with details and motifs. In this way, he reinvested the knowledge he had acquired during his training as a painter and his studies in architecture, revisiting them freely. This drawing shows a variety of ornamentation, particularly scrolls, which punctuate the composition. Julie Borgeaud Condition: a few tears on the sides Provenance: Collection H.-L.
