Rouault Picture “The Old King” in the the Ricardos Hollywood apartment

Here we spot another Georges Rouault picture, “The Old King” in the the Ricardos Hollywood apartment. This is considered Rouault’s finest work.  It was painted at a time when monarchies were being overthrown. The king is holding a white flower of peace.

Georges Rouault 1871 –1958 painted in a style associated with  Fauvism and Expressionism and was popular with mid-century collectors. His works reflect his background as a stained glass artist. Rouault  burned 300 of his pictures a while before he died because he felt he dd not have time to complete them.
