Antique French Artist’s Palette – “Gris Femme”
Inscribed “Femme” on reverse and signed by the artist, Jean

This extraordinary, oversized painter’s palette is a one-of-a-kind piece of working art—thick with layers of oil paint and history. Rendered in deep indigo, teal, ochre, and chalky ultramarine, the surface tells a story of color experimentation and creative fervor. On the reverse, a hand-engraved inscription reads simply: "Femme"—a beautiful engraving from the manufacturer. 

The patina is glorious: from knife marks and dried pigment to soft age along the wood edges. Whether hung as-is or propped in a bookcase or studio, it brings the romance of a French atelier right into your home.
