Specialist note

This panel was designed by Domergue for the Venetian festival in Cannes and by repute for a ball held by Marie Laure de Noailles, the French arts patron. A similar screen is believed to have been created for Coco Chanel.

This work is recorded in the archives of Monsieur Noé Willer and will be included in his forthcoming Domergue Catalogue Raisonné.
