Dans le patio (circa 1905)
This picture is from a French postcard with an illustration by François-Maurice Roganeau (1883-1973). He studied in his home town of Bordeaux but was a good enough painter to win the prestigious Grand Prix de Rome in 1906, which gave the winner a paid year to study in the Italian capital. He was director of l'École des beaux-arts de Bordeaux from 1929 until 1958 and lived to be ninety years old. Proving, once again, that painting naked ladies leads to long life (unless you are Modigliani).
