Charles Raphael Maréchal, (French 1825-1888), Young Man with a Sack of Potatoes, 1859, oil on board, signed and dated (lower right), 93cm x 99cm (99cm x 106cm framed), £2,500
Maréchal was the son of the artist Charles-Laurent Maréchal, and trained by his father from a young age. He exhibited several times at the Salon (the official art exhibition of the prestigious Académie des Beaux-Arts in Paris), including in 1868. In 1872, the City of Metz bought the immense charcoal work Prayer In The Wilderness. This work, particularly the head, is clearly influenced by the work of William Blake.

Active within the Gay Liberation Front in London from its inception in 1970, Hutter showed at group exhibitions at the Royal Academy, the Royal Watercolour Society and the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours.
