The copy is further embellished with a large original Indian ink drawing signed by Dunoyer de Segonzac, depicting Colette’s property in Saint-Tropez with the autograph note “pour la Treille Muscate de Colette. A. Dunoyer de Segonzac”. In November 1925 Colette bought a house in Saint Tropez, which she later named “La Treille Muscate”. She spent a lot of time there until 1939, when she sold the house to the actor Charles Vanel.<\/p>\n
“Segonzac had long wanted to illustrate Colette, his neighbor at St. Tropez. This pictorial portrait of her villa was the first of their collaborations” (Garvey).<\/p>\n
A fine copy.<\/p>\n
