Lot Essay

Adolphe Thomasse (1850-1930)
This is a similar pose to the blue peacock exhibited, L'Eventail Mirroir de la Belle Epoque, 1985, no.30 but not identical, the signature is to the right not the left and the sticks more elaborate and similar to those used by Duvelleroy for L'Eventail Point de Hongrie, plate 85.
