Two drawings for the Musée de la Marine

Fortunately, the disappointment was short-lived, as the museum itself announced the purchase of the drawings, which were nevertheless sold in two separate lots, the first (ill. 1) fetching €32,000 at the hammer and the second (ill. 2) fetching €36,000 at the hammer [1] last Wednesday.
