Georges Lucien Guyot framed lithograph of an eagle

A wonderful Art Deco lithograph of an eagle from the French artist Goerges Lucien Guyot.

It is signed in the bottom right "Guyot" and numbered "85".
We have had it framed with a German gold slip, a cream mount and a black lacquer frame.

These lithographs were produced by LeMatte et Boinot in 1937 in a limited edition of 200.
