DESCRIPTION:
|
Catalogue Taevernier 127. A spectacular impression printed on Bütten paper with the "van Gelder Zonen" watermark. The hand water coloring is fresh and vibrant. No states are known to exist. A social commentary on the gossiping high society. The subject is a facetious portrait of Ensor's friends. Seated, from left to right: Ernest Rousseau, Ensor's sister, Ensor himself, and Mrs. Rousseau.
