Charles Huard

The Sentry (First World War)

Charles Huard's original etching and drypoint, The Sentry, a scene from the 'First World War' is one of his finest works of war art. Extensively utilizing the deep lines of drypointing he has created a memorable scene of a devastated town and its occupying soldiers. During the First World War (1914-1918) Charles Huard served as an artist for the French government. The etchings and lithographs he made of French military life within the war zones provide an important and lasting record of these momentous times. This original etching and drypoint is printed upon hand made, laid paper with the 'Arches' watermark and with full margins as published in Paris in 1917. It is signed by the French artist, Charles Huard in pencil in the lower right margin.
