DescriptionArmand Seguin was part of the international community of artists who lived and worked in Brittany in the early 1890s. He was a skilful printmaker and taught his friend, the Irish painter Roderic O’Conor the basics of etching. The energetic mark-making and strength of line is characteristic of both Seguin and O’Conor’s prints from this time.
