La Légende des Sexes
A suite of 12 colored plates done à la poupée by Martin Van Maele (these are enhanced); in a pirated edition of Edmond Harcourt's La Légende des Sexes. A suite was also done in monochrome. In at least two instances, this particular copy differs from the one sold by Christie's (Fekete)...in image 3 below, the color of the dresses worn by the two women in the foreground are switched. AND in image 5 below, the woman lays on a blue and red cushion while in the other copy the cushion is all red. I have not compared the other plates so there may, or may not, be other differences.
