Bring your collection to life !
Achetez de l'Art Paris is hosting a exhibition-sale of comic collectors original boards and illustrations, from Wednesday 01/21 to Saturday 02/07/2026. This exhibition brings together original comic pages and illustrations from our collectors’ private collections, offered for sale in a gallery setting.
Mister Fruit by Nicolas de Crécy
This cover design for Monsieur Fruit, by Nicolas de Crécy, is a dazzling demonstration of his mastery of architecture and storytelling in a single image: a vertiginous perspective, a teeming crowd sketched in line, and in the foreground, this tiny yet central figure, whose gait immediately commands attention—a blend of humor and melancholic poetry.
Everything hinges on the virtuosity of the drawing: a vibrant line, a profusion of micro-details, a sense of rhythm and depth, with a deliberate space at the bottom to accommodate the title. A rare piece, ideal for collectors who appreciate grand urban compositions and the magic of the sketch that already contains the entire book.
