Painting Artist ID - may be de Beauvais

February 28th, 2010, 12:53 PM

Hello,

Can anyone help ID the artist/painting? The signature appears to be de Beauvais or something similar. I have attached the picture, plus the signature and name.

We found a couple of de Beauvais online, but they appear to not be similar. This print is at least 60 to 70 years old.

Thanks!

This is an aquatint/etching produced for Sidney Z Lucas's "Paris Etching Society" - you can see his initials (SZL) in the triangle just above the signature. There's some discussion of these prints - and a mention of de Beauvais here:

And a bit more general information on SZL

And from the gallery of his heirs

I have a de Beauvais also and do not know how to find out more about it. Mine definitely looks very similiar to yours. It was framed in Chicago and I think the name is "The Lane". I am having trouble uploading pictures to this site, but my signature on the pic looks just like your signature. Contact me at bambi612@verizon.net.

Also in our home here in Holland we own a very nice etching of De Beauvais. The measurements are 40 x 50 centimeters and represent an old small street with a simple house. Also this etching is marked in the under left corner with SZL (within a triangle) meaning Sydney Zoltan Lucas, owner of the gallery "Paris Etching Society".

However I'm looking for more information about the artist De Beauvais.
