Auguste Harzic was a French impressionist and modern artist. He was born in Algiers, studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris and later taught at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Algiers from 1937-45.  In Madrid, he gained a residency at the Casa Velazquez in 1933, and won The Grand Prix Artistique of Algeria in 1937. In 1938, he created a mural for the foyer of the Opera House in his native city. He returned to France in 1945.

This beautiful and quietly dramatic painting would make a stunning statement piece and focal point in any room.
