"Dear Eddy,
You have a lovely drawing. It's inspired by the Melun diptych painted by Jean Fouquet, in particular the panel preserved in Antwerp (see photo)
Signature: and here's the rub, the work is masterfully executed on blue-gray paper (mixed technique) in ink and gouache, and bears an initialled monogram in the lower right-hand corner (see photo), and the style reminds me strongly of René Magritte (surrealism-new realism) before the Second World War. **** This is the only information I have at the moment, as I don't have access to the archives of the Baroness de Becker's collections in New York. ***** Perhaps the future will tell me more.
With all due respect, Eddy Schelck Brussels .
Dimensions: at first glance, the oval should measure about 26 cm H , but the work is rectangular underneath ( see photo )
