Charles Courtry (1846-1897) online thew Metropolitan Museum of Art says "One of the most accomplished of French nineteenth century etchers." He studied etching techniques in Paris under Francois Flameng and Leon Gaucherel. Courty is also known for copperplate engraving and illustration but during his career focused primarily on etchings, completing around 500. Most of them were interpretive of drawings by others artists including Jean Chardin, Thomas Couture, Mihaly Munkacsy, Francesco Guardi, Joseph Israels and Constant Troyon. Among his subjects is a portrait of artist, J.L. Ernest Meissonier, dated 1883. He also did an occasional still life etching such as Vase de Chelsea, 1874. Offered here is an original etching, plate signed, 5.5 x 7.5 plus wide clean margins. Fine.
