Description
- René Lalique
- "Noel"
signed R. LALIQUE
pastel, watercolor and pencil on paper
- together with a 1905 copy of L'Illustration
Condition
Overall very good original condition. With the some rippling to the image as it is currently mounted. Present modern frame is not archival and with some discoloration to the matte. The color is vivid and with no signs of fading. With some possible rubbing to the top portion, likely inherent in the making and caused by a hand rubbing against the colors. Minor scattered foxing throughout. A beautiful and rare work by Lalique. This piece is sold with a good condition copy of L'Illustration where the work is reproduced on the cover.
