Monks at the well is an original watercolored drawing in ink on paper, realized by the French artist André Maire (1898-1985). Unsigned. With autograph pencil notes of the place of realization of the fresh sketch of monks at the well. In very good condition, it could be a pleasant souvenir from Florence. André Maire (in Le Marais, Paris, 1898–1985) André Marie was a French painter. A student of André Devambez at the Beaux-Arts of Paris, his true debt was to Émile Bernard, though he belonged to no school. He has lived for a long time, for thirteen years, in Indochina. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no official proof of authenticity, however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising from misattribution
