Les Bravades: A Gift for His Daughter by Orson Welles

Hardcover | Condition: excellent

Art student-turned-actor, Orson Welles continued to paint throughout his life. Published here for the first time is his most charming work—a portfolio of images in watercolor, crayon, ink, and gouache that captures the annual Saint's Day held in St.-Tropez on the French Riviera. Presented by Welles to his daughter Rebecca as a Christmas gift in 1956, this picture book preserves the enthusiasm of a doting father who wanted to give his child a lasting gift.
