Architecture Sketches Study Drawing, Romane Church in France by Maurice Lambert
Located in Atlanta, GA
This enormously impressive architectural study was created for a church's renovation in a suburb of Paris. These sketches of the St Pierre church in Avon, Seine et Marne Departement, near Paris are for the restoration of the front porch. The artist created the drawing using watercolor, ink, and sepia pencil. On the lower center bottom, you have the drawing of the porch itself, on the left side a close-up of the underside of the framework, and on the right side the same framework views from above. The top left corner shows a quoted plan of the porch. In the lower right-hand corner a handwritten dedication that says "To my old mate and pal. A fond recollection of school." Maurice Lambert's signature is after the dedication. The study is ornate with a classic wood frame with glass protection. The frame has some little wear, but otherwise, the artwork is in wonderful shape. Please check the last three pictures for views of the original building. Measurements: With frame: 40.94 in wide (104 cm) x 27.56 in high (70 cm). View: 38.98 in wide (99 cm) x 25.59 in high (65 cm).
