About the Item

A masterful example of French decorative arts at its best, this lacquer panel features the interlocking figures of Egypt and Nubia, each stylized in classic Art Deco manner. The hair and clothing of each figure is deeply carved, and the lacquer is richly hued in tones of cinnabar, ebony and burnt sienna. Each figure hold something precious -- an infant in one case, and a scroll of music in the other case. The artist signed the panel with his monogram -- HPL -- in the lower lefthand corner.
