GABRIELLE VINCENT ERNEST AND CELESTINE Ernest et Célestine chez le photographe, Éditions Duculot 1982 Family portraits, original illustration. Watercolor on paper 21.3 × 18 cm (8.39 × 7.09 in.) It's Célestine's turn to contemplate a gallery of portraits of her and Ernest, so many precious memories that she can look at endlessly; no more jealousy, Ernest is old, he has the right to have had another life, but he and Célestine also have a lot to remember by looking at these photos taken just now in the studio, and which are so many scenes evoking their happy life together. It's a unique moment, an album in which they don't invite anyone, a reunion for two that clears up misunderstandings.
