Antoine Bouvard, French 1870-1956- Grand Canal, Venice; oil on canvas, signed, 24.5x33cm (ARR) (Vat charged on hammer price) Note: Bouvard frequented Venice during the 1920’s and 1930’s, returning to Paris to sell his work. A recluse, he had little contact with the public, selling his views through art dealers. He painted exclusively Venetian views, having clearly identified a market in which he was to achieve considerable commercial success. Bouvard also worked under the pseudonym of Marc Aldine, allowing him further success through alternative markets for his work. Please refer to department for condition report
