Graphite on paper, summer 1945, supplied with a certificate of authenticity from the Fondation Guillaume Corneille. After the war, Guillaume Corneille convinced Karel Appel to follow him to Belgium, first stopping in his native city of Liège. The drawing is a landscape in the style of Van Gogh. During this period the two painters trained in drawing by imitating the great painters. Guillaume Corneille had the intuition that Belgium could offer him opportunities. This was indeed the case in Liège, where he found one of his first great collectors in Ernest van Zuylen, director of the Musée de la Boverie.
Frame made during the artist's lifetime with Atelier Corneille stamp on the back. Dimensions: 20 x 28 cm. Total dimensions: 32 x 39.5 cm.
