La multiplication des poissons.

Etching, 17,9 x 23,8 cm, Japan paper, plate signed and dated, pencil signed, dated and dedicated.

Under passe-partout and frame.

Christ showing a shredded fish to an indifferent crowd wearing costumes and brandishing 2 flags with the slogans "Fanfares doctrinaires. Toujours réussi" and "Alimentation doctrinaire". The man behind Christ in 19th-c. dress seems to be taking notes.
