Description

Depicts the right half of a double leaf composition. See also ART19885.002 verso. Full Illustration depicts fashionable urban life with a French soldier striding toward a stylish blonde woman in a green fur-cuffed winter coat. Her light green mid-calf length dress is visible under her coat. She is poised on her heels, taking dainty steps, her hands tucked into her black muff and wearing a tall black hat. Full title across the two leaves is 'Poursuite à l'arrière', which translates as 'Chase at the rear'; verso: small pencil sketch in upper left of a hand with shirt cuff, holding a demitasse cup. In the upper right are very faint pencil lines that appear to be a neck bow with long tails.
