Adolphe Giraldon
Study for Decoration - Original Tempera by A. Giraldon - Early 20th Century

Early 20th Century

About the Item

Study for Decoration is a graceful preparatory sketch for a decoration of the French artist, stylist, decorator and illustrator Adolphe Giraldon. This is a small painting in tempera in good conditions, except for a discoloration on the higher part of the image and numerous small stains of fungal foxing on the left margin of the paper. The artwork is divided into two parts: above, there is a rose window in a circle with abstract-vegetal decorations; below, the same decorations but drawn for a horizontal edging. Adolphe Giraldon was an expert bijou and furniture designer, as well as a talented weaver and book illustrator. This significant sketch could refer to a beautiful decoration for books or for wallpaper, typical of the naturalistic Liberty taste.
