Trained in the later 1860’s at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris, Buhot, initially a music cover designer, watercolour painter, illustrator, and reproductive engraver, took up original etching in 1873, which occupied him until the 1880’s when his focus moved to painting.
To obtain his desired effects he combined etching with aquatint, roulette and drypoint. He generally printed only small editions.
Buhot exhibited at the Paris Salon from 1873.
This print depicts a scene in Quinéville, Normandy. It bears Buhot’s red owl stamp in the lower margin (Lugt 978). On cream laid paper. Time-stained within the previous mount opening. Unusually, with a second maculature impression on the reverse, the platemarks superimposed, also ‘signed’ with the red owl stamp.
