- Lot Description
School of Gabriel Davioud (French, 1824-1881)
Six Architectural Renderings of Fountains and Abreuvoir Designs
Unsigned, one inscribed "Dessine d'une fontaine publique, Dite au Devil la Grande fontaine a construire En la Commune de M.xxx..." along the upper edge.
Watercolor and ink on laid paper, sight sizes to 10 5/8 x 16 7/8 in. (27.0 x 43.0 cm), in matching mats and frames.
Condition: Pale foxing and toning, not examined out of frames.
N.B. The somewhat cryptic inscription on one of the drawings may point to fountain designs by Gabriel Davioud. Davioud was an inspector general for architectural works in Paris and chief architect for its parks and public spaces. A colleague of Baron Haussmann, Davioud was instrumental in the design of pavilions, railings, gates, and benches in Parisian parks that have become emblems of the city. He also designed the circus and panorama for the Champs Élysées and four large fountains for Paris: Saint-Michel, Boulevard Saint-Michel (1858), Château d'Eau (1867-74), l'Observatoire (1870-75), and Place du Théâtre-Français (1872-74).
