LE LIVRE DE MAGDA. 1898. 25.25 x17.875in. Chaix, Paris. Condition A- minor restoration in image. Framed.

The image "shows the strange ethereal sensuality which can be found in much of Berthon's work: never blatantly sexy his women radiate a soft yielding glow that gives them a spiritual beauty" (Wine Spectator 35). Femme 83.
