Provenance: From the Private Collection of Benno & Babette Rothschild, Columbus, Georgia, USA Framing: offered unframed Note: In his old age the artist suffered from a recurring eye infection that prevented him from working outdoors except in warm weather. As a result of this he often painted outdoor scenes while sitting by the window of a hotel room. He moved around France and possibly this lithograph was done in that way. There exist quite a number of Lithographs made in Rouen dating from this period.The Road whose name this lithograph bears, Eugene Duthuit, was born in 1807 in Marseilles and died in Rouen in 1886. He was a notable historian and collector of art. The road itself still exists and is in the historic center of the town boasting some excellent medieval timbered buildings as can be seen from our lithograph. The Medieval church of Saint-Maclou is seen in the background. Considered very rare.
