Willy, Polaire, Toby Chien et Colette au Palace de Glace, c. 1935 Original drawing, Chine Ink on paper, signed and dated below right “Jean” with a star.

This drawing was executed by Jean Cocteau for the work “Portraits - Souvenirs (1900 - 1914) by Grasset in 1935.

Collette was a scandalously talented performer, a practiced seductress of both men and women and the flamboyant author of some of the greatest works of 20th century literature. Having spent her childhood in the shadow of an overpowering mother, Colette escaped at age twenty into a turbulent marriage with the seductive but unscrupulous Willy - a literary charlatan who took credit for her bestselling Claudine novels.

Her other works included Gigi, Sido, Cheri, and Break of Day. Colette’s husband, Willy, wrote Claudine at School and the stage version was a great success. The persona of “Claudine” was played by the actress, Polaire. Willy had the two women dress as girlish twins and showed them off in Paris, in Polaire’s words, “Like one would walk a couple of greyhounds”. Such outings played up the erotic ambiguity of the relationship between the two women and the portly and middle-aged, Willy. The play’s subject was a controversial sexual one, in which Claudine and her classmates understood themselves as nubile subjects for older men, their teachers and each other. It was, in the nomenclature of the period “succès de scandale”.

Cocteau was a great friend of Colette whose literary works he admired greatly. Our drawing, made around 1935, harps back to an earlier period in Colette’s life and is an amusing portrait of the trio in an ice cream parlour, with their pet dog, Toby, sitting at a table enjoying an afternoon excess. They are attired in fashionable garb and obviously all smiling, laughing and enjoying the occasion.

Authentication: A certificate from the Jean Cocteau expert, Annie Guedras, comes with this item.
