Alexis Eugène GUIGNÉ(Paris 1839 c. 1920)La Sèvre Nantaise à Clisson Watercolor Signed lower right Provenance: Private collection Alexis Guigné carried out his artistic apprenticeship with Jules Noël and exhibited at the Salon from 1868 to 1882. The vast majority watercolors that he presents and that come out of his studio. He will make a specialty of this technique to the point that his oils are extremely rare today. Several French and English museums have watercolors by Guigné whose production seems to have calmed down around 1900. Note Two small addicts at the bottom of the two trunks, see photo
