Description
A portrait of the poet Arthur Rimbaud, drawn by his lover Paul Verlaine, will be auctioned at Drouot on 2 December for an estimated price of between €100,000 and €200,000. This refined drawing, chosen by Verlaine to illustrate the first edition of the complete works of the accursed poet (1895), is ‘a substitute for what Rimbaud represents, in other words the impetus of youth, freedom and irreverence,’ according to expert Ambroise Audoin.
