Abel Guérineau (1841-1925) View of Enoshima Bay; Japanese manor house Two drawings, ink and watercolor on paper. - One depicts a bird's-eye view of a seascape with a small shrine in the foreground. Top right, the inscription 江ノ島 - Enoshima, bottom left "Enosima 7/5.75" and artist's seal. Sight size: 24 x 37.5 cm. - The other depicts the majestic entrance to a traditional Japanese house, perhaps a temple or noble residence, built according to classical Japanese architectural principles. The gabled roof, called a kirizuma-zukuri, is pitched and covered with typical tiles called kawara, the ends of which are adorned with delicate carvings evoking the styles of feudal Japan. The solid wooden beams and pillars that support the structure are finely crafted. On the walls, the openings feature curved frames, an aesthetic choice that lends the façade a singular elegance and a subtle artistic touch. At top right, the inscription 日本屋敷 - Nihon yashiki - "Japanese House". Lower right, artist's seal. Sight size: 27 x 47.2 cm Creases, small tears and missing parts. Framed under glass.
