Description
Depicted here is a war damaged chateau along the Coney, a 55 kilometre long river in the Vosges and Haute-Saone region of northeastern France. The trees that surround the chateau look burnt out and dead, having probably caught fire from shelling. Small houses can be seen in the middleground and background of the etching of which their fate is not yet clear.
Paul Mansard was the alias of French artist Henry Dupont. Dupont also worked under the alias Marcel Augis.
