Title: Seven Original Gouaches on La Fontaine's "Lion and Mouse"
Description: 1925? Seven Original Gouaches on La Fontaine's "Lion and Mouse" 12.5" x 9.75". Meant originally apparently for a book project. €250 from Sebastian Bailly, Paris, Jan., '25.

The "ci Bienfait" illustration is a second attempt pasted over the original. Might it be that #3 of 8 was planned but was either never done or became separated from these lovely depictions? Sebastian Bailly could give no further information on the source of these. His estimate was that they were created in the 1920's or 1930's.
Date: 1925?
