PAL (JEAN DE PALÉOLOGUE, 1860-1942) ST. RAPHAËL / QUINQUINA.
45 1/2x63 inches, 115x160 cm. Chardin, Paris.
Condition B: creases, abrasions, repaired tears and wrinkles in margins and image; tears and minor losses at edges; restoration and minor losses along vertical and horizontal folds.
Here it would seem that Pal uncharacteristically acquiesced to his client's demands, as his normal kitschy and flamboyant style is absent. Instead the company's name and image of their product is displayed large, there is a demurely-clad angel flying over the typography. This is a very unusual horizontal format.
