Émile ZOLA. L.A.S., Médan November 20, 1880, to Henri Chabrillat; 2pages in-8 (mourning). To the director of the Ambigu-Comique, about Nana (premiered January 29, 1881). "I understand your reasons for deciding to play Rose Michel [by Ernest Blum]. Just remember that our treaty states that you must play Nana after D'Ennery's play. I'm not telling you this to bother you about your business. I simply want it understood that Nana, whatever may happen, will run from January 15 to 20. I'll be in Paris in the first few days of December, and I'll be waiting for you to summon me, when we resume rehearsals for Nana in earnest"...

Louis-Henri NICOT (Rennes, 1878 - Paris, 1944) "Youth", circa 1907. BUST of a young woman, bared breast, in white marble carved in direct cut. Rectangular base carved from the same block. Titled and signed. Height : 55 cm Width : 40 cm. This bust, which appears in a photograph of the interior of Louis-Henri Nicot's studio, was presented at the Grand Palais during the 1907 Salon des Artistes Français under the title "Jeune femme". Our warmest thanks go to Louis-Henri Nicot, the artist's grandson, for kindly providing us with this information. He tells us that this sculpture is now included in the catalog raisonné of his grandfather's work. Instead of the powerful granite of his Armorican busts, Louis-Henri Nicot prefers here the fine grain of a white marble quarried far from Brittany. The soft skin of this marble sublimates the delicate allegory of a smiling, carefree youth, freezing this fleeting ideal for eternity.
