Exterior view
by VALLIN, Eugène, Photo
The photo shows the lively street fa�ade of the building boasting an open loggia, a porch and a high gallery. The critic �mile Nicolas (1871-1940) compared it to a plant and saw in it the victory of botanical naturalism over classical anthropomorphism. The metal aedicule on the entrance porch was added in 1928 by Jean Prouv� (1901-1984), son of the painter Victor Emile Prouv�.
