Trained at the Toulouse School of Fine Arts, painter and illustrator Edmond Alet founded the Atelier de la Ruche with his brother Maurice, a manufacturer and designer of Art Nouveau furniture and decor in Toulouse.
Our drawing can be linked to his work as an illustrator, particularly his productions for the Théâtre du Capitole or the Théâtre Lafayette. It may be a portrait of Clémence Isaure, patroness of the Floral Games of Toulouse.
