Original drawing in pen and black ink, 1908-09, 190 x 258 mm. Rapid but detailed compositional sketch on papier calque with small margins outside the framing lines, signed with the monogrammed crab stamp; old tape at the bottom edge of the sheet. Although Laboureur did a number of prints of this subject, and the woman at the right appears, in a different pose, in the woodcut “Marchande de Fleurs, Piccadilly,” there is no known print of this image. He had been making prints since 1896, but this drawing is still well before he developed the elongated figures and touches of cubism that define his immediately recognizable Art Deco style. But he sometimes went back to earlier drawings as subject matter for prints and there is, interestingly, an engraving of 1927, also titled “Marchande de Fleurs Piccadilly,” in his then typical style, of completely different composition and format, but clearly of the same woman he observed almost twenty years earlier.
