Brassaï settled in the Montparnasse district in the 1920s. He immortalized the mythical Paris of that time, with its quays plunged into the November mist, its monuments and its inhabitants from all
social backgrounds. He also signed very beautiful portraits of his accomplices and friends, whether Jacques Prévert, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali, Henri Matisse, Alberto Giacometti or the writer Jean
Genet. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
