Lot description
A beautifully framed color lithograph titled Les Petites Rencontres, created by Paul Balluriau, a distinguished French illustrator and caricaturist renowned for his contributions to Belle Epoque art and satirical publications. The French text at the bottom humorously references the casual nature of the meeting, adding a narrative element typical of his satirical style. This charming scene captures a fleeting encounter between a fashionable woman in a flowing green gown and feathered hat and a well-dressed gentleman holding a walking cane. Set against a lively Parisian street backdrop, the composition reflects the elegance and social nuances of the era. Executed in color lithography on paper, this work shows his expressive line work, delicate shading, and refined color palette, embodying the aesthetics of early 20th-century French illustration. Professionally matted and framed in a gold-tone frame, and the artist signature in the plate. Artist: Paul Balluriau (French, 1860-1917) Issued: 20th century Dimensions: 16.25"W x 19.25"H
