An early original pastel work by the well-listed and prolific French Canadian artist and illustrator Philip Boileau, dated 1903. This is similar in composition to another artwork by Boileau titled "Adagio Appasionata." That oil painting (c. 1898-1901) was featured in the Nov. 1901 issue of Cosmopolitan magazine. Boileau often recreated his late 19th century oil paintings in pastel for both private patrons and publication. As his career progressed Boileau came to prefer and exclusively work in pastel. Boileau contributed 34 Covers for The Saturday Evening Post, and was a wildly popular postcard artist and calendar illustrator.
Work is framed behind old glass in an ornate, gold-painted Victorian oak frame and original circular matting.
