About the artist
Fernand Piet (1869 - 1942, Paris) was a French painter, a student of Eugène Carrière, Fernand Cormon and Alfred Roll.
At the Salon des Indépendants and the Salon des artistes français he exhibited his canvases and engravings of landscapes of Brittany. Holland and the South, and representations of common scenes: parks, children, markets. Piet is also the author of numerous female nudes and rare seascapes.
The economic wealth that his family provides him and the fortunate financial speculations on the Stock Exchange, allow him to lead a comfortable social life with his friends Lucien-Victor Guirand de Scevola, Edmond Lempereur and Jean-Louis Forain.
In 1905 he became with Paul Signac deputy director of the Salon des Indépendants, and in 1910 he received the honor of the Order of Academic Palms.

from the text on the tissue paper, by Pieter Burman the Elder:
Le soleil a chassé les brumes qui montent du grand canal et déjà la façade du vieux château de Jacqueline, comtesse de Hollande, se teinte gaiement de rose sous la lumière crue du matin.
Sur les ponts tournants, des femmes passent; elles portent, appuyés sur l'épaule, de longs paniers d'osier qui laissent voir à travers leurs claies des pommes d'un rouge vif. Des chiens efflanqués, à l'œil triste, sont attelés à des voitures et transportent des charges qui ne sont pas proportionnées à leur force; les bonnes fourbissent les cuivres, polissent les miroirs accrochés sur la rue, tandis qu'au milieu de la place du marché des groupes de femmes s'animent autour des marchandises variées étalées sur le sol.
