The same seller in Paris has also listed the academic male nude studies by the well listed French artist Melina Eudoxie Daviau *1862-1941). Daviau was a French designer, landscape, and portrait artist. He exhibited at the Salon des Artists Francais, Paris, in 1906. He was a pupil of Luc-Olivier Merson (1804-1889) who taught at the Academie des Beaux-arts and was most famous for his postage stamp and currency designs. Merson also has stained glass windows he designed here in the United states. If you search his name in the search block above you will find the three drawings I have in my collection.
