Paul JOUVE (1878-1973)
Two panthers Mixed media, black pencil and stump drawing, gouache and collage. 60,5 x 45,5 cm Provenance: - Sale Hôtel Drouot, Paris, 13 December 1989 - Galerie 7 fois 7, Paris, acquired by the present owner in July 1992 Dominique Suisse told us that "this is a first sketch for The Descent of the Jungle from Kipling's Second Jungle Book. This sketch has been truncated on its left side, in front of the black panther. This small part must have been damaged or missing. In the in-text drawing on page 241 of The Jungle Book, which is close to the drawing you are showing, the panther sketched in the second plan has been removed." We thank Dominique Suisse, Paul Jouve's successor, for the information he kindly provided.
