Original illustration made by Moebius for "Ballads" by François Villon, published for the first time in France by Vertige Graphic in 1995 and subsequently in Italy by Nuages in 1996. Like a medieval miniaturist Moebius presents the richness, complexity and the mystery of Villon's poetry, his visionary art marries one of the most elusive, ambiguous and enigmatic personalities in the entire history of literature. The watercolor artworks of the French master are very rare. Signed.
