JEANNIOT, Pierre George Arrival of the victorious jockey. Paris c. 1881-1920 Drawing, pen and indian ink, graphite pencil, 39 x 31 cm, vellum paper, signed in lower left margin "Jeanniot" (paper torn and creased in lower right corner, rebacked on mod. paper, occ. sm. def. at right margin). Stuck under passe-partout, under gilt frame (not studied outside frame). A lively drawing of a large cheering crowd welcoming a jockey. Jeanniot (1848-1934) was illustrator for the popular Parisian journals "La Vie moderne", "Rire" and "Journal Amusant". This drawing is probably a preparatory sketch for one of the journal illustrations.
