Authentic, vintage hand-colored etching by the renowned French artist Boris O’Klein (1893–1985). This piece is titled "Sus aux curieux" (variably translated as "Down with the curious!" or "Attack the curious!") and dates to circa 1930s. It is one of the most famous, highly sought-after scenes from his iconic "Dirty Dogs of Paris" series.

The artwork beautifully showcases O'Klein’s signature comedic style, depicting a line of mischievous street dogs along a wall outsmarting a group of curious onlookers.

Key Features & Authenticity Timeline:

• Signature: Hand-signed by Boris O'Klein in pencil in the lower right margin.

• Title: Titled "Sus aux curieux" in pencil in the lower left margin.

• Framing Pedigree (Pre-1942): Professionally housed in a vintage wood frame. The reverse features an authentic, intact paper label from the legendary "Foster Brothers" gallery of Boston, MA. Because the historic Foster Brothers firm closed its doors in 1942, this pristine label firmly verifies that the print was struck and custom-framed between the 1930s and 1942, guaranteeing its true vintage era.
