Description du lot
Drawing, pen and indian ink, graphite pencil, 39 x 31 cm, vellum paper, signed in lower left margin "Jeanniot" (paper torn and creased in lower right corner, rebacked on mod. paper, occ. sm. def. at right margin).
Stuck under passe-partout, under gilt frame (not studied outside frame).
