Full size sold for $ 16,100 US Poster Auctions International, N.Y. May 1999.
"De Feure's finest poster, and one of the most beautiful of the whole
period
It is a triumph of colour and design. He uses only brown, green and
dull pink in the roses. Yet every possible shade of brown is in the poster, and
the effect is a great richness and concentration of colour, like a mountain of
brushed up autumn leafs
She is dressed in the height of imaginative fashion,
and her hat is a victory of the milliner's art' (Abdy
p.156) This poster for the Belgian 'Journal of the Auctions' was immediately
seized upon by contemporary critics and hailed as one of the finest works of its
kind" (Rennert, PAI-XXVIII, 306)
