Un chapeau de Paille d'Italie

Un Chapeau de Paille d'Italie   is a superb original pencil and ink drawing on ivory glossy paper realized by Flor David in  1951,  as it is reported in black ink on lower right margin.

Representing the silhouette of an elegant greeting woman with a rapid and synthetic line and a wise touch, this original drawing seems to be the sketch for theatrical spectacle. the woman just delayed is the French actress Francoise Engel in "Un Chapeau de paille d'Italie". 

Hand-signed and dated  by the artist on the lower right margin.

The artwork is attached to the ivory cardboard, a little bit damaged by humidity stains on the lower and higher margins, cm 61.5 x 34. Overall in very good conditions.

This original drawing is archived by Benezit.
