Esther Pressoir, Artist and Model, c. 1930 Signed Lithograph (no. 1) marching cadet but I must say that

but I must say that the aura-like ring of patterning around him

with the interior and lip of the bowl itself is quite blackened

and that there was at least one version of him that came with a little cub that he pushed along in front of him as he walked

with a bit of a Caves of Lascaux feel to this cluster of animal head silhouettes I think

Box measures 3 7/16" x 2 1/4" x 3 1/4"

Esther Pressoir, Artist and Model, c. 1930 Signed Lithograph (no. 1) marching cadet but I must say thatI knew nothing of Esther Estelle ("Stella") Pressoir (American, 1902 1980) when I found this signed lithograph along with several other works by her at Brimfield (an ink drawing and an etching also listed today, and a few more to come), but what a delight it has been to learn a bit about her, and Stella's star is most definitely on the rise.
