He experimented with different color combinations as he printed his work. This image aligns with Villon’s interest in Parisian society, showing a bureaucrat from the rural province of Nevers at a fashionable Parisian party. wall description: --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS Ginestet, Colette de, Jacques Villon, and Catherine Pouillon.
