Félix Hilaire BUHOT
1847–1898, France

Félix Buhot was born in Valognes, Normandy. He went to Paris in 1865 and studied painting with Isador Pils and Jules Noël, and engraving with Sancherel. By 1872, he was working for a fanmaker named Duvelleroy and at the same time producing watercolors of land and seascapes. His refined and delicate watercolors have influenced the unique character of his prints. He was able to transfer the effect of brush washes into his prints employing aquatint, engraving, roulette and drypoint as tools.
