Dos à dos child portrait The flowers spill forth fromA double sided oil painting on wood, from the home and atelier of French artist Ccile Hertz Eyrolles (18751974). The reverse bears the artists atelier stamp. This rare double sided work offers a glimpse into Hertz Eyrolless studio practice not only her reuse of materials, but also the range of her subjects. On one side, a close up portrait of a womans face is rendered in oil, with underlying pencil lines still visible, gently carving out her features.
