In 1946 Mrs Richard-Sauvenier from La Licorne Edition in Brussels, commissioned Delvaux to illustrate Charles Nodier's novel Iñes de las Sierras, circa 1841, which tells the dramatic life of the beautiful Iñes. The present lot comprises the original drawings and projects for the book lithographic illustrations. For unknow reasons, the book was never published.
