Stag in Snow. I suspect that was a common decorative subject turn-of-the-century-ish. And likely one of a pair.

Hi Debora thanks for the response so potentially they come in a pair. I have not search the whole attic due to amount of stuff, so hopefully the second one is there.

Kind Regards

There seem to be quite a lot of them online, some signed by various artists, but I did find this pair that say they are prints by Emile Vouga. Don't know if that was the original artist or not.

Hi say_it_slowly thanks for the information I will do research on the various artists, also look into Emile Vouga.

Kind Regards

I'd agree that inspired by an original work. Likely title 'Stag at Dawn' and 'Stag at Dusk.'

Here are a couple more of these prints they say are E Vouga however there seems to be some different spellings of the first name. Emilie, Emille etc

Thanks for links

 

I would think E. Vouga right given French copyright at bottom of work. Swiss, not French, according the internet.

Debora

 

These are his original chromolithographs.

Yes with original chromolithographs its E. Vouga Swiss artist, great to find this out thank you Debora.

 

Thank you, Marty, but takes a team.

Debora

 

Of course it takes a team thank say_it_slowly for the great information and research.

 

Emilie Vouga née Pradès in Vevey, died in Geneva.
of no artisic merits and not listed in Switzerland. or as they say in Switzerland - "she'd better have stayed in the kitchen".
I wonder if such artists were used by postcard printers as soon as their copyrights ran out.
this is a roe body with a stag head.

 

found her in the standard German enyclopydia by Thieme/Becker as flower and bird painter and "Autodidakt" (self-taught).

 

Certainly caught the public's imagination with her work though.

Debora

 

certainly not. if she had been known outside the internet as well, some of her stuff was hanging in museums.
many people mistake google and else for reality.

 

Her work was widely reproduced in her time. Spoke to many people despite her lack of formal artistic training.
