MotifHecate, goddess of the moon in Greek mythology, who trained Circe in the great art of the Metamorphoses, based on Braque's 1962 gouache of the same name from the Les Métamorphoses series.
This rare Hécate V piece, little sister to another Hécate II brooch exhibited in 1963 at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs and acquired by the French state in 1993, is the fruit of the collaboration between two great artists who understood each other perfectly in the twilight of Braque's life, and whose joint work reoriented jewelry in the 60s.
With its certificate signed by Heger de Löwenfeld, mentioning its acquisition by collectors in 1978.
