Product Description
First edition / original water colour by Bac.
A large, and beautifully executed image of a party in full flow.
A young lady to the top, is holding a banner stating in French"Here, we dance.
" There are several couples dancing in close proximity.
The revelling seems quite drink fuelled, to the bottom left is an upset romantic, with his unwanted rose in his hand, and to the bottom right, a drunk violinist is asleep.
A beautiful scene of drunken debauchery, set, from the appearance, in the late eighteenth century.
The work is beautifully and brightly drawn, and signed in black in blank to the bottom right edge.
It is attractively framed under a blue passe partout, with gilt foil border.
The whole held in a fairly modern brown frame.
We have examined this out of the frame, and to the rear is written "Aquarelle.
" (the remaining words have been mostly rubbed away).
This does appear to be in Bac's own hand.
The water colour itself is 42cm x 29cm.
The passe partout area is 46cm x 33cm.
The frame is 65cm x 47.
5cm.
In excellent condition.
Ferdinand-Sigismond Bach, known as Ferdinand Bac (1859-1952) was originally German, born in Stuttgart, as the illegitimate grandson of Jérôme Bonaparte.
In addition to being a caricaturist and artist, contributing to journals such as "La Caricature" and "La Vie Parisienne", he was also a prolific author, writing and illustrating works such as "Le Voyage romantique.
