MARLIAVE (François de). A BEAUTIFUL COLLECTION OF 27 COMPOSI - Lot 214
MARLIAVE (François de). A BEAUTIFUL COLLECTION OF 27 COMPOSITIONS created for "Le Mariage de Loti." [c. 1932]. 27 sheets of various sizes mounted on various substrates. Some traces of glue along the margins or adhesive residue on the mountings. ONE ORIGINAL SIGNED WATERCOLOR (approx. 26.5 x 20 cm) depicting a bare-chested Polynesian woman wearing a hat at the water’s edge, 12 ORIGINAL PENCIL DRAWINGS (11 of which are signed), 7 WATERCOLOR PRINTS and 7 black-and-white PRINTS signed on the plate. Some compositions bear the artist’s handwritten inscription “Mariage de Loti.” François de MARLIAVE (Toulon, 1874 – Draguignan, 1953), a French painter, decorator, and illustrator, exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français from the early 20th century onward. A traveling painter, he made several trips to Indochina, whose landscapes and scenes of daily life inspired his work. His career as an illustrator led him, in particular, to create the illustrations for Pierre Loti’s *Mariage de Loti*, published by Henri Cyral in 1932.
