Colette Pope Heldner (American/New Orleans, 1902-1990), "Napoleon House, French Quarter, New Orleans - Bastille Day", oil on canvas, signed and titled lower left and en verso, 40 in. x 34 in., framed Note: Colette Pope Heldner depicts one of the most iconic corners in the French Quarter in this lively Bastille Day scene. The Napoleon House and Pierro Maspero's provide the backdrop for a wide variety of "characters", including a Lucky Dog vendor, street musician, performers with a monkey, French sailors with a lady and two nuns. The artist even includes herself in the composition, in the lower right corner, carrying her canvas and easel. The large number of people in the painting, who are reveling, dancing and drinking, convey the conviviality of this French holiday, celebrated with great joie de vivre in New Orleans.
