    André des Fontaines Biography

    Des Fontaines was born on the 20th November 1869 on Martinique.

    He was taught by the noted masters Jules Lefebvre (who was an obvious influence on this work), Tony Robert-Fleury and Desire Lucas.

    He exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Francais in Paris; from where he received an honourable mention in the 1909 show.

    Benezit makes particular reference to his work in pastel.

    Primarily a landscapist, his work often depicts the countryside in Normandy and the North coast, as well as some Parisian views, of which ours is a fine example.

    Here's my usual C&P on this subject:

    The response from scriptor-ga is very insightful.

    Basically PES was set up by Sidney Z. Lucas, hence the SZL mark. He owned a printshop in New York in the years 1940 to 1960 where He
    produced a large number of prints after old etchings.
    Generally, prints by Mr. Lucas seem not to reach very high prices.
    At the end of the day they look nice, but that's about it.
    Most of what is talked about them is from people "boiler rooming" the price on the supposed French history.

    I hope this helps.
