"	 European School (xix-xx) - "dum Spiro, Spero; Dum Spero, Amo; Dum Amo, Vivo""
                    
                    - Oil on canvas.- An exceptional nude from the School of Paris combining eroticism and melancholy. Note the brilliant background design, a large red stain, inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's legendary lesson, which urged his disciples to draw inspiration from the texture and imperfection of walls. In contrast, a languid, pink-skinned mermaid rests, ridiculously light, on a bed of white sheets, with the enigmatic gesture of a sphinx.- Dimensions of the unframed image: 34 x 26 cm / 42 x 34 cm with a magnificent frame.- Galerie Montbaron includes a technical sheet prepared by an accredited art historian with all its lots. This sheet is sent in digital format upon request.
