Josephine & Jazz : Maquette. ca. 1930. Paul Colin.

8 3/8 x 11 in./21.3 x 28 cm

Oh yeah. That’s Josephine Baker dancing on top of a piano while the musicians cluster below, and the Eiffel Tower itself swings in syncopation. Classic Paul Colin, it’s also got a little bit of Chagall in it, n'est ce pas? An absolute treasure of the Jazz Age.
