Original pencil landscape on paper by Charles Ahier (1888 -1976) 25x19cm

This may look like a black and white photograph but you would be mistaken like we were. This is a pencil sketch by the London artist Herbert Charles Touseau Ahier, born 1888 died 1976 ; now highly admired and collected 

This unframed and unsigned (From a collection of other signed works by the artist) pencil sketch is of some wooden farm building set in a mountainous landscape.

An exquisite representation of what can be achieved with a piece of paper and the humble pencil

There is the word 'Fluoro' written in pencil at the top right of the drawing - we are unsure of its meaning but possibly the location of the sketch 

Herbert Ahier established himself before the First World War as an illustrator and specialist in images of ships. After that war, he worked as a commercial artist, and occasional illustrator, for J M Dent & Sons, revealing a talent for a wider range of imagery. He extended this talent, in later life, in producing pleasing traditional landscape watercolours.

He was born in Mile End, East London, on 23 December 1888. His father’s family had possibly settled there from Jersey. By 1901, he was living with his widowed grandmother, Eliza Phillipps Ahier (née Cross), at 38 Antill Road.

This sketch has a couple of very small tares to the paper at the top of the image fortunately easily lost when mounted. There is also some foxing across the image - frankly I think they give it some authenticity but can be removed
