ARSENE HERBINIER (1869-?) SALON DES CENT. 1899. 231/2x151/2 inches. Condition B: minor paper loss, repaired tears and creases in margins and image; vertical and horizontal folds. Framed. In a style that clearly bespeaks an apprenticeship in the studios of Eugene Grasset, Herbinier depicts a young woman in profile enjoying a bunch of wild roses. Drawn using flat tones and shades of brown, this archetypical Art Nouveau image, with its thick outlining, has been rendered as if designed for a stained-glass window. Salon des Cent p. 78.
