Boris O'Klein French Risque Dogs hand-colored etching
Original Boris O' Klein circa 1930 hand-colored etching, signed in pencil to lower right hand side and title lower left hand side, showing a group of prostitutes as dogs touting for custom on the street's of Paris, scene outside "Hotel de la Gare". Measures 25" x 13" this has lost its glass a long time ago and has got a little discoloured as a result, still has original frame, otherwise fine. Title; tu vien beau blond

O'Klein produced a series of caricature scenes which typically featured Dogs and/or Cats, with the typical theme being tame sexual friction between Male and Female Dogs, or Cats humorously tormenting Dogs who are trying to relieve themselves. In once scene a smirking cat sits high on a wall after having "fenced in" the local Dogs' favorite watering tree while a series of Dogs grimace in frustration. In another scene a Cat high on a wall torments a series of Dogs of different breeds as they relieve themselves against a wall while standing on their hind legs, pre 1920 work tends to be less risque, this piece would date to circa 1930.
