Franciszek Starowieyski, Eve drawn from imagination

Ink on PP DESA letterhead
Size: 30 x 23,5 cm
Unsigned work.

Provenance: private collection Warsaw; gift from the artist.

The work we offer is an example of the artist's spontaneous actions. As a collector and connoisseur of antiques, he was a frequent visitor to PP Dzieła Sztuki i Antyki. During one of his visits, he snatched the gallery's letterpress wrapping paper and scratched a quick sketch of the figure of one of the Desa's employees in his characteristic style.
