Description
Original bifolio leaf removed from the 1939 Verve “Portraits” issue, featuring a full-bleed color gravure centerfold of Pierre Bonnard, La Famille Terrasse. The two outer pages carry Giovanni Battista Braccelli (from Bizzarie di varie figure) illustrating Marcel Raval’s essay “Man and His Model,” and Francisco de Goya, Charles IV of Spain and the Royal Family (Prado). A striking mix of modern color and historic masters-ideal for framing or reference.
