Ask a Question

'Cabaret in an Asian Banquet Hall', pencil, gouache and metallic paint on card stock by an unnamed artist of the French School (20th Century). This is a fantastical port visit of the artist's imagination. It is a naive, but strangely compelling painting discovered in Paris. It depicts French sailors dancing with a cabaret performer in a Chinese-style banquet hall while onlookers enjoy the spectacle. On the left hand of the scene an Asian musician plays a stringed instrument. On the far left, an exchange is happening between partygoers and a person dressed in traditional Asian festive garb. There is a vintage look to the scene as exemplified in the clothing and the ambiance in general - most likely 1930s. Is it Hong Kong, Shanghai, Taipei, or just a party in the artist's imagination? The work is in good overall condition. It has been newly framed with anti-reflective glass. Please enjoy the many photos accompanying the listing. Upon request a video will be provided.
