Beautiful, intelligent, dark-haired, high-cheek-boned, free-spirited Juliette Gréco poses with a thin leopard sitting on a chair as she holds its leash in her right hand. She wears a full-body black leotard suit and white dance shoes which matches her long black hair. She is confident and comfortable as a performer. Robert Humblot called "Bob" was a French contemporary painter and illustrator of the 20th century. Born in Fontenay-sous-Bois in 1907, he was a co-founder of “Forces nouvelles” that advocated a return to drawing, a return to the conscientious profession of tradition in fervent contact with nature. His paintings were known for being tinged with humor; through nudes, landscapes, still lifes and characters, Humblot expressed his vision of the world.
