Title:
Au bord de l’eau
Description:
A lithograph of deer in the woods near some water. There is a vast forest behind them as well as birds in the sky. This print was lithographed by Karl Bodmer.
Johann Carl Bodmer, born February 11, 1809 was a Swiss-French printmaker, etcher, lithographer, zinc engraver, draftsman, painter, illustrator, and hunter. He is better known as Karl Bodmer in his literature and paintings. The change of signature was likely due to the birth of his son, Charles-Henry Barbizon, that he began to sign his works K Bodmer. Bodmer was also well known in Germany for his watercolors, drawings, and aquatints of cities and landscapes of the Rhine, Mosel, and Lahn rivers.
