"Anubis, Conductor of Souls, " Stylized, Muscular Depiction of Egyptian God
About the Item
This striking Art Deco drawing by Louis Léon Eugène Billotey depicts the jackal-headed, human-bodied Anubis, God of the Afterlife and conductor of souls. Billotey won the Grand Prix of Rome in 1907, and in the 1930s a painting of his was purchased by the National Museum of Modern Art in France. He designed a major fresco at the Palais de Chaillot in Paris, across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower, and designed tapestries executed by the Gobelins factory in 1933. The drawing is pencil on rich, ruddy-brown tissue mounted on heavier white paper.
