More Jean-Gabriel Domergue

Back in 2012 I wrote about Jean Gabriel Domergue (1889-1962, French Wikipedia entry here).

I mentioned that some of his early illustrations and paintings were interesting, but the pin-up style he eventually developed was not: mostly stereotyped and repetitious.

That said, it's time to present more of his earlier works.

The face of the woman at the right is a verion of his pin-up style.

I can't quite read the date, thought it might be 1939 when World War 2 began.
