Humorous Portrait Art Deco, Customers Visiting The Painter's Studio

RARE PAINTING BY PIERRE RENÉ GERMINET, DIT GERMY, CARICATURIST AND ILLUSTRATOR FROM THE EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY. THE TITLE "THE PHILISTINS" IS NOT WITHOUT REMINDING US OF THE SONG OF BRASSENS WHICH MESSES THE VENTRUS BOURGEOIS IN FRONT OF THE CHEVELUS ARTISTS. GOLD, THIS CANVAS WAS PAINTED IN 1935, AND THE SONG IN 1957. THIS SCENE OF LARGE DIMENSIONS (81 X 65) AND FILLED WITH DECORATIVE DETAILS (SCULPTURE ON THE CHEST OF DRAWER, BRUSH POT IN FRONT OF THE CANOPY, BATHROBE HANGING FROM A COAT RACK , CARPET ETC ...) IS ESPECIALLY A MOQUERY OF "GROCERS" KNOWING NOTHING ABOUT ARTS, BUT EXTASIATING BEFORE A NUDE OF A WOMAN, PROBABLY THE ONLY THEME UNDERSTANDING TO THEIR EYES. THE CANVAS HAS AN OLD RESTORATION AND HAS BEEN CLEANED. HAS AN INSIPIDAL BROWN FRAME. SMALL PRICE FOR A RARE CANVAS.
