Circa 1940, 9.2 X 30, 3 cm open, 9.2 x 7 cm closed, some marks of photo-oxidation, but never used, unfortunately for the lady!

We have many paintings to restore at our shop of Pau for which we prefer the sale on the spot, preferably in batches! Other photos and many other objects in our shops in Pau and Biarritz and on our website: galerielhoste.com.
