Emilie Preyer was a German painter of the last third of the nineteenth and first third of the twentieth centuries. She is known as a painter and a master of still life.
Emilie Preyer studied painting under her father Johann Wilhelm Preyer and worked in the same meticulous technique. She created still lifes with fruit and flowers. Over 250 of her paintings are in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, as well as in private collections in the United Kingdom and the United States.
Hippolyte Jean Giraudoux was a French novelist, essayist, diplomat and playwright. He is considered among the most important French dramatists of the period between World War I and World War II. His work is noted for its stylistic elegance and poetic fantasy. Giraudoux's dominant theme is the relationship between man and woman—or in some cases, between man and some unattainable ideal.
