Description
LUIGI LOIR (1845–1916)
The comical antics of revolutionaries at a funfair.
Watercolour and gouache, collages, pencil and graphite on paper.
Signed lower left.
18.6 x 25.8 cm. (19 x 27 cm including the sheet)
The unique feature of this scene lies in its background, which is entirely decorated in the colours of the British Royal Navy.
Here we see Luigi Loir’s incredible eye for detail, combining his talents as an illustrator, caricaturist and theatre set designer. The details of the children’s costumes and the precision of the heraldic coats of arms bear witness to his meticulous craftsmanship.
