Lovely pair of ink sketches by the noted illustrator Jean Halin.
The two scenes feature a picturesque French street scene lined with buildings, shop signs and figures. The style is loose and gestural, typical of mid-century travel sketches.
Presented in a prominent, mustard/olive/ochre coarse linen frame, a hugely popular framing style in the 1960s and 1970s.
The piece is signed by Jean Halin, a mid-century French illustrator, artist and graphic designer who was particurlarly known for his pen and ink sketches, His works were known for their distinct, lively line-drawing style. His work was featured in French publications and travel art pieces of the era, and occasionally presented as originals, as this piece here is.
There are small signs of age on the pieces, see photos for more details.
One piece is portrait form, one landscape.
