JULES CHERET (1836-1932) QUINQUINA DUBONNET. 1896. [Courrier Francais Supplement]
221/2x153/4 inches. Chaix, Paris.
Condition B+: restored losses, repaired tears and overpainting in margins and image.
This is a very unusual composition for Cheret in which he employs certain design elements more commonly used by Alphonse Mucha. He has placed his subject within a halo-like circle, with the title arched above the image. Yet the woman is unmistakeably a Cherette. Broido 871.
