Jan Frans de Boever, Belgian 1872-1949- Illustration of 'Sisina' from 'Les Fleurs du Mal'; mixed media on paper, signed 'J. DE BOEVER' (lower right), 38 x 24.7 cm. Provenance: Private Collection, UK. Note: De Boever produced approximately 157 illustrations for Charles Baudelaire's (1821-1867) 'Les Fleurs du mal' between 1914 and 1924 at the request of Léon Speltinckx, a wealthy patron and collector. These works reveal the artist's Symbolist approach, alongside a morbidity which was undoubtedly shaped both by Baudelaire's writing and by the horrors of the First World War.
