A Portrait of the author

PUYOS, Jean [?]

  • Publisher: S.P.
  • Published: 1892 , Paris
Paris: S.P., 1892. First edition. An original pencil sketch. Although unsigned by the artist, this is probably a self portrait. Written across the page is an illegible place, and then "1er Mai 92 signé et approuvé l'auteur Jean Puyos". followed by the signature. Although we cannot find the name amongst authors or artists of the late nineteenth century, this is nevertheless and attractive caricature of a man wearing a hat and smoking. A little marking and staining. Laid onto backing card. 17cm x 14cm. . Première édition. Une esquisse originale au crayon. Bien que non signé par l'artiste, il s'agit probablement d'un autoportrait. Un lieu illisible est inscrit sur la page, puis "1er Mai 92 signé et approuvé l'auteur Jean Puyos", suivi de la signature. Bien que nous ne trouvions pas ce nom parmi les auteurs ou les artistes de la fin du dix-neuvième siècle, il s'agit néanmoins d'une jolie caricature d'un homme portant un chapeau et fumant. Quelques marques et taches. Collé sur une carte de soutien. 17cm x 14cm.
