Georges Scott (1873-1943) Portrait of Jules Lagorio 1893, signed, dated and annotated on the right : "A monsieur Jules Lagorio, Souvenir de notre excursion à l'Estaque 12 mai 1893" Pencil on paper 24 x 22 cm In fair condition : an horizontal crease in the middle of the shhet, stains ans other creases, trace of the mount (see photographs please) In its original vintage framing : 33 x 30 cm If not in perfect condition, this intimate portrait by the young artist is really intersting and charming.
