Roger Forissier: The Levallois Bridge, circa 1974 (signed) - Lot 108
Roger Forissier: The Levallois Bridge, circa 1974 (signed) Original color lithograph on Arches vellum, with Arches watermark in the lower margin Numbered 70/175 in pencil in the lower left corner, titled “The Levallois Bridge” in pencil at the bottom center, signed “Forissier” in pencil in the lower right corner Dimensions: Sheet 50 × 66 cm (19.7 × 26 in.); Image 36 × 50 cm (14.2 × 19.7 in.) Condition: Very good. Sheet is clean, colors are vibrant, and the paper’s natural edges are intact. Unframed. Private collection, France A barge at the dock and a low embankment stretch across the sheet beneath a pale green sky; bare pollarded trees filter the ochre and gray blocks of the opposite bank, with the bridge framing the composition on the right; the water below reflects the entire scene in broken, dark reflections. Forissier builds the scene with layers of flat colors, the drawing reduced to a few black lines, and the palette limited to verdigris, ochre, and rust tones.
