About the Item

Title: Original French Poster Artwork for Gala de Saint-Cyr à l’Opéra by Anne Marie Migette Perard (French 1902-1977) Signed: Verso Medium: Watercolor on unframed paper Size: 24.5 inches (height) x 16.5 inches (width) Condition: As is normal with unframed works on paper there are some minor old creases or paper edge curls/ tears - all of which should be covered over or smoothed out once framed; generally very good and sound. Provenance: as with all the works we have by this artist, it has come from the artists estate in France. Description: This bold and patriotic French poster artwork advertises the Gala de Saint-Cyr, a prestigious military academy event held at the Paris Opéra. Executed in vibrant gouache, the piece is alive with French tricolour energy—deep blues, brilliant reds, and crisp whites explode from the centre like fireworks. Two hand-drawn stars burst out from the bottom, anchoring the event’s celebratory flair. On the left, sweeping feathers or epaulettes reference military dress, while the delicate ink linework of the Palais Garnier (the Opéra) anchors the composition with architectural grace. The typeface is fully hand-lettered, energetic, and expressive—capturing a spirit of national pride, ceremony, and theatrical grandeur. Likely created as a design proposal for an official program or promotional poster, this artwork offers both historic significance and graphic charm. A rare piece of mid-century French cultural memorabilia.

French Mid 20th Century Exhibition Poster Study for WWII Normandy Landings
Located in Cirencester, Gloucestershire
Title: French Mid 20th Century Exhibition Poster Study for WWII Normandy Landings by Anne Marie Migette Perard (French 1902-1977) Medium: Watercolor and ink on unframed paper Size: 19.75 inches (height) x 25.5 inches (width) Condition: As is normal with unframed works on paper there are some minor old creases or paper edge curls/ tears - all of which should be covered over or smoothed out once framed; generally very good and sound. Provenance: as with all the works we have by this artist, it has come from the artists estate in France. Description: This rare and historically resonant piece by Anne Marie Migette Perard is a hand-painted exhibition poster study commemorating the Débarquement—the D-Day landings of World War II. Titled Exposition sur le Débarquement, this draft appears to have been created for a local or regional tourism office (Pavillon du Tourisme) for an event running from 24 May to 3 July. Rendered in expressive watercolor and ink, the piece features bold text, explosive orange and yellow bursts symbolizing the intensity of battle, and the Cross of Lorraine—a widely recognized emblem of Free France and French resistance during the war. The backdrop suggests the beaches of Normandy, blending into a sky of smoke and movement. This work is likely an original design proposal or exhibition concept piece, making it a unique find for collectors of WWII memorabilia...
