This very beautiful Art Deco spirit drawing represents a woman in a dress, from behind, wearing an eccentric feathered hat and an umbrella. The autumn wind blows away her dress, revealing her garter and panties. It is titled in pencil at the bottom left “Parisienne n°107” and signed and dated at the bottom right “Bouby-Passy 1918”.
We know practically nothing about Bouby-Passy; it is certainly a pseudonym. We find a drawing from his series “Les Parisiennes” in issue 43 of October 27, 1917 of La Vie Parisienne, under the title Les Feuilles d’Automne, representing the same woman as ours, always with the same eccentric hat, seen next to. The caption mysteriously presents the artist: “Drawing by Bouby-Passy (Sent from an internee camp in Holland)”.
Some postcards also bear this signature, all published by Weenenk & Snel in The Hague, so the Dutch route is not excluded...
