Marcel PROUST. Two original pen-and-ink drawings with autograph notes; 17 x 22.5 cm, with tear in the center.
Curious drawing for his friend Reynaldo Hahn, on a double sheet of stationery.
On the right-hand page, a man in mid-body, in profile, wearing a top hat, with this note above: "Great in the role of Pastor Ebhac for my Funibuls unless it is for my Gugnibels." In the margin of the tear (which would correspond to a large phallus), one can read: "for Gunimuls".
On the other page, turned over, caricature of a woman in bust, captioned: "No. 4 of the series of sketches after the Countess M."
