Lot 164: CHARLES VACHER - MAIDEN - ORIGINAL DRAWING - C. 1860

YOUNG MAIDEN - an original drawing C.1860 by well listed British Artist Charles Vacher (1818-1882). Signed by the artist with initials. In very good condition with a sheet size of 6 x 8 inches and on nice white colored paper. Vacher studied at the Royal Academy in London. He was a rapid worker, and, besides over two thousand sketches which he left at his death, he often executed twelve to sixteen finished works in one year, and between 1838 and 1881 he exhibited no fewer than 350 at the London exhibitions. His first exhibit at the Royal Academy was, in 1838, ‘Well at Bacharach on the Rhine,’ but the majority of his pictures — 324 works in all — were shown at the gallery of the New Society of Painters in Water Colours, now the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours, which he joined in 1846, on the introduction of his friend Louis Hague.
