This is a very rare and unique painting by the French master Raoul Dufy.
On one side there is a beautiful and very typical black ink drawing of a woman in a dress.
In the center of this image there is a delicate symbol of a french store that was printed on the paper before Dufy painted on it.
Dufy combined this symbol in the composition of the woman so it looks like she is holding this object.
On the second side there is a very interesting pencil and balck ink design.
This is probably a experimental commercial, Dufy made for the Blanchini Ferier studio.
Between the hand painted text there are some drawings made in pencil.
The text is hand written firstly in pencil and then painted in Ink:
