The french rooster', gouache on art paper, by raymond debiève (circa 1960s). A mid-century modern depiction of the french coq, or rooster. The origin of this symbol dates back to ancient history. At that time, romans were taunting gauls because of a linguistic coincidence – in latin, the word gallus meant gaul… but also rooster. With time, the french kings adopted the rooster as a symbol of courage and bravery. During the revolution, the rooster became the symbol of the people and of the state. This depiction is raymond debiéve's take on that national symbol. This artwork is unsigned or dated. Provenance: debiève family paris. In good overall condition, the painting is newly framed and glazed with non-reflective glass. Please enjoy the many photos accompanying this listing.
