Vintage decorative initial “I” with birds and sunbathing lady, by Fortuné-Louis Méaulle

---

A woman with only a garland of flowers to preserve her modesty lies inunder a trellis, perhaps a vinyard; above her a giant decorative initial letter “I”, vines with few or no leaves, and two dark birds, perhaps ravens. This victorian initial was designed by the artist Fortuné-Louis Méaulle in or before 1887.
