Every print starts as a real drawing
No AI, no stock imagery, no “Paris aesthetic” generated by a machine. Each artwork exists as a sheet of paper in Bordeaux — drawn in India ink and watercolor by Sébastien Rieu, French caricaturist and illustrator for 25 years, seen on France 3 national TV. The drawing is scanned in very high definition, then printed to order in the USA on museum-quality matte paper. That’s why it costs $29, not $65: same American printing, no middleman, and the artist keeps drawing.
Before you order
Is this hand-drawn or AI-generated?
Hand-drawn, entirely. Every print reproduces a real India-ink and watercolor drawing made on paper by Sébastien Rieu — no AI, no filter, at any step.
Where is it printed and how fast does it arrive?
Printed to order in the USA on museum-quality matte paper, and shipped free anywhere in the 50 states — typically at your door within a week. No customs, no international wait.
What sizes exist?
Three sizes: 12×16 inches ($29), 18×24 inches ($39) and 24×36 inches ($49). Sold unframed, with proportions that fit standard frames.
Can I get the original drawing instead?
Sometimes — originals that are still available can be purchased and shipped from France. Ask on the contact page, or see the pencil portraits page for commissioned pieces.
