Title

Lion and Mouse Hangable Picture

Description

2015? A heavy cardboard hangable print of a painting of LM "On a souvent besoin d'un plus petit que soi." Scarabéan. $12 from Marie Gervais, St.-Urbain-Premier, Quebec, Canada, through eBay, August, '18.

I apologize for the choice of category for this unusual object. The painting is dramatic, as a mouse reaches toward the lion trapped in a net suspended from the branch of a tree. On the back of this stiff cardboard a little over 8½" square, there is a flap for mounting the piece on a nail. The paper presenting the printed picture is carefully pasted over very stiff cardboard. I have been able to find nothing on or from Scarabéan.
