View of Liège, pencil drawing by Armand Rassenfosse.
A major figure in the Liège art scene at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries, Armand Rassenfosse is best known as a poster artist and illustrator, particularly for his iconic female figures.
The drawing we are presenting here offers a rare view of his hometown, Liège. We can recognize the Fragnée bridge, the Citadel, and the bell tower of Saint-Lambert Cathedral.
In the foreground, the presence of a female worker and forklift operators attests to the artist's social awareness and his attention to the world of work, a recurring theme in his work.
Landscape is an exceptional subject for Rassenfosse, and this drawing stands out for its intimate nature, revealing the artist's deep attachment to his hometown.
