Notes: 1. This impressive work may be linked with a major lacquered wooden panel sold at CHRISTIE’S, a common work by these two artists, students of Joseph Inguimberty (1896-1971) in the lacquer section of the Ecole des Beaux Arts de l’Indochine as well as close friends. See CHRISTIE’S Hong Kong, China, 2017-05-28, lot 325, sold for €549,320. 2. Please find below an abstract of the lot essay written by expert Jean-François Hubert, senior consultant at CHRISTIE’S, for the above-mentioned panel, that may also fit our shallow dish: ‘The execution of a joint work, might not be unique, but it certainly remains exceptional. In 1942, these two artists were in full force and at the peak of their talent. In this work, they both related the same way to this majestic and mysterious mountainous Tonkin, which Victor Tardieu and Joseph Inguimberty always encouraged students of the Beaux Arts to go admire. The sugar loaf mountains, such as those found in this region are magnified, as well as the vegetation, by an abundant use of gold lacquer in contrast to the rather dark atmosphere of the rice fields.’ € 10,000 - 15,000 +
