GEORGES DE FEURE (1868-1943) [SALON DES CENT / 5ME EXPOSITION.] 1894.
24x17 inches, 61x43 1/4 cm.
Condition B / B+: restored losses in corners and margins; restoration and repaired tears at edges, some affecting image.
Although born in the Netherlands, de Feure became a prominent figure within the Parisian Art Nouveau scene. He made his mark not only as an illustrator, painter and poster designer, but also as a designer of glass and furniture. De Feure's image for the Salon des Cent is similar in composition to Eugene Grasset's, both of which show a woman contemplating a flower. This is the version before text. DFP-II 345, Maitres 10, Salon des Cent 9, (all var), Wine Spectator 87.
