Lot description
Lithography, 24,6 x 20 cm, Japan paper, signed in pen at lower right "Gustav Desmet".
Rare expressionist print by De Smet, representing a couple in a village, a favoured subject which reoccurs in several of his paintings of the late 1920s and early 1930s. In 1929 Gustave De Smet moved to Deurle on the River Leie, where he gained his inspiration from the simple life of the village. Compare, for example The Village Fair (1930), now in the Museum of Fine Arts Ghent.
