Limited to 600 copies Image size 57x38cm Frame size 86x61cm Created in 1985

Raymond Peynet was the most popular illustrator in France in the 20th century, and has several museums in France and Japan. He depicts the love between lovers, always surrounded by small animals, trees and flowers. Peynet's works convey messages of love and peace, and empathy with small animals and plants leads to environmental protection. A sculpture of lovers by Peynet is placed in Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park as a symbol of world peace. This print was produced in France as part of a series in 1985. It is of course new. It has sold out in France, and only second-hand copies are available on the market. For information on Peynet's museums, please see the following website.

[Work description]

The man, sitting on a chair in the park, got tired of waiting for his girlfriend and started fortune telling with angel wings. She told him over and over again that she would come, she would not come, she loved him, she didn't love him, so the space under the chair became filled with angel wings. The first angel had lost most of her wings and was crying. The second angel's wings were also getting fewer. Still, the angels seemed to be blessing the lovers. When angel wings are pulled out, they grow new wings. The poet was telling his fortune while helping the angel grow new wings. Just as new clean wool grows after cutting a sheep's wool, angel wings also grow back. In a few months, he will meet an angel with new wings. The girl in the pink dress is already on her way.
