About the Item

Etching on laid paper Signed in plate lower left: A. Lançon Published by Cadart Luquet, Éditeurs, 79 Rue Richelieu, Paris With the blindstamp of the Société des Aquafortistes, lower margin In Dans les Pyrénées (“In the Pyrenees”), Augustin André Lançon captures a striking encounter between two bears amidst the rugged grandeur of a mountain landscape. The etching reflects both his naturalist precision and his deep empathy for the animal world — qualities that would later define his celebrated work as a painter, engraver, and illustrator of the Franco-Prussian War. Lançon’s fine, confident linework and sensitive rendering of texture demonstrate the artist’s training as a draughtsman and his fascination with natural history. The bears, monumental yet calm, are set within a vividly described wilderness of rock and trees, evoking both the majesty and fragility of untamed nature. Through balanced composition and atmospheric light, the artist achieves a quiet, almost lyrical sense of coexistence between creature and landscape. Excellent impression with rich contrasts and full margins; minor foxing and toning consistent with age, overall superb preservation. A prolific contributor to the Société des Aquafortistes, Lançon was admired for his technical mastery and for elevating animal subjects to a level of expressive dignity rarely achieved in 19th-century printmaking. Dans les Pyrénéesexemplifies his sensitivity to both natural form and poetic mood, standing as one of his most evocative etched works from the Cadart Luquet editions.
