"Joseph Marius Avy, Nereid, Or Aphrodite, On A Dolphin In Front Of A Cave (circa 1910)"

Joseph Marius AVY (Marseille 1871 - Paris 1939)
Nereid, or Aphrodite, on a dolphin in front of a cave
Circa 1910
Watercolor on card
18 x 12.7 cm
Signed: Jm Avy
Stamp on the back of the card from the Avy sale held at Piasa
Board slightly curved

In addition to being a great painter, Avy was also a prolific illustrator. Could it be that this charming watercolor, in which we see a Nereid - or perhaps Aphrodite herself, since she adopts the classic Anadyomene pose with her arms and hair - is linked to a book project?
