Charles Francois Daubigny (US, France, 1817 - 1878) Original Ink/Pencil Drawing of a wooded landscape with estate stamp. Image size: 6.25 x 4.5 in. Overall Size: 16 x 14 in. Provenance: Private California Collection. After winning his first Salon prize in 1848, the French government commissioned an etching from him after Claude Lorrain's Abreuvoir. Daubigny's first love, however, was landscape painting, and his fascination with water was evident judging from his Salon entries of the late 1840s and early 1850s. Daubigny's position as a respected painter and prominent member of the artistic community was clearly recognized when in 1865, he was elected a member of the Salon Jury. In this role, he was one of few who recognized the talents of a new generation of younger artists, and his influence was key in the acceptance of works by Pissarro, Monet, Sisley and Degas.
