About the Item

Diminutive and striking, this Mannerist male nude by Raoul Pène du Bois, the great Broadway designer, depicts a confident figure in the full bloom of youth, with golden hair and blushing flesh. du Bois won renown as a scenic and costume designer for Broadway beginning in the 1930s. He won Tony awards for scenic design (Wonderful Town), and for costume design (No, No Nanette); among the many other shows he designed were the Ziegfeld Follies (1934), Jumbo (1935), Du Barry was a Lady (1939), and Charley's Aunt (1953). The painting is watercolor and gouache on heavy, textured paper; it is marked with du Bois' estate stamp on the reverse.
