Village Pageant, Design for Le Coq d'Or


signed in Latin l.r.

gouache over pencil on artist's board

Board: 37 by 52.5cm, 14½ by 20¾in.

Framed: 59 by 74.5cm, 23¼ by 29¼in.

The work is executed on a Whatman board manufactured by the London artists' suppliers George Rowney & Co. The label on the reverse dates it to pre-1924 when the company amended its name.

Lot 67 in the sale, Set Design for Coq d'Or, is executed on the same board suggesting that both designs were for the original 1914 production staged by Diaghilev's Ballets Russes in Paris and London.
