Abraham-Louis-Rodolphe Ducros (French, 1748-1810). Abraham Louis Rodolphe Ducros was one of the most prolific watercolor painters working in Rome at the end of the eighteenth century. Born in Lausaune, he arrived in Rome in 1776. He soon gained a reputation for his landscape paintings, both watercolors and in oil. Popular with the wealthy foreign tourists, he traveled extensively around Italy. Collaborating with the print maker Giovanni Volpato, the reproduced a number of his works in the form of hand-colored outline etchings. Ducros is known to have painted more than one version of his most popular subjects; he painted on a large scale, often pasting several sheets of paper together on to linen and using gum Arabic to add accents, as varnish would be used on an oil painting. His success in rendering the effects of light he attributed to the unique qualities of the watercolor medium. For a similar example, see Christie`s Dec. 2017, Sale# 15674 Lot 37. A smaller example: Christie`s, London, 15 June 1976, lot 238. Sight size: 25-3/4"h x 39-1/2"w
