51. Jean-Louis Forain (1852-1931) La Pluie d’Or |

La Pluie d’Or
Black ink on wove paper, ca. 1910 (?), 284 x 418 mm. A finished drawing of a child viewing fireworks in Forain’s rapid and fluent style, signed in pencil. Forain was a major artist (paintings, etchings, lithographs, illustrations), his early impressionist works highly appreciated today, his later religious and social works far too underestimated. His drawings are assured and economical; he knew how to get precisely what he wanted with the minimal means. The work is titled in pencil verso, which also exhibits a light pencil drawing of a couple seated, possibly a preliminary idea for one of the several etchings of 1910 titled “C’est Fini.”
