Lot Essay

The inscription probably indicates ownership (along with Calame's seal on the stretcher) rather than authorship. This is presumably Jean-Baptiste-Arthur Calame (1843-1919), the artist and son of the Swiss landscape painter Alexandre Calame (1810-1864). Neither of the Calames travelled to Indonesia.
