Object Description
This is one of the newest arrivals, sourced by an American dealer friend who knows our soft spot for theatrical subjects. An otherwise rather ordinary painter of landscapes and North African towns, it was when sitting in the wings or dressing rooms back stage that Berjole really excelled. There is so much life in this painting, the rustle of costumes and hum of gossip punctuated by stage calls and distant applause. A window on the Paris theatres between the wars that hadn’t changed much since Lautrec’s day.
