DescriptionArmand Seguin was one of the artists who lived and worked in Brittany in the early 1890s. The techniques of selective plate-wiping to give tone and reserving areas to indicate the reflective nature of water are characteristic of Armand Seguin. He was a skilful printmaker and taught his friend, the Irish painter Roderic O’Conor the basics of etching. The high viewpoint and graphic nature of this print show the influence of Japanese prints.
