Lot description
Chromolithograph with gold paint, 163,0 x 107,4 cm, stone signed and dated (sm. losses, some retouchings, and tears repaired, marg. white spots, marg. sl. insolated, flattened vert. fold).
Linen backed.
Poster for an exhibition, first prize in the Cercle artistique de Schaerbeek competition, which launched Livemont's career as a poster designer. Still Neoclassical, the originality of the composition lies in the shadow cast by the crown, which forms a donkey's head, a symbol of Schaerbeek.
