Lot description

ARTIST: HERVÉ BAILLE (1896-1977) SIZE: 24 1/2 x 39 1/8 in./62.2 x 99.5 cm PRINTER: Editions Hubert Baille, Paris DESCRIPTION: A bronze bikini belle femme, a beach playground, a glistening Mediterranean Sea, and a sun that's simply happy to be there: it’s possibly the most evocative illustration of the French Riviera's pleasures we've seen. Others clearly thought so too: this delightful vision was produced in 1949, just a few years before the Cannes Film Festival would introduce its Palme d'Or, and Grace Kelly and Cary Grant romanced the Riviera in "To Catch a Thief."
