French Connection 2: ‘En Cabochon’ describes the domed cut of a stone, here striped agates. The necklace pays homage to Chinese painter Pan Yu-Lin (Yu Liang) who lived in Paris from 1937 after being rescued from a brothel. A successful book ‘The Painter from Shanghai’ tells her story. This was part of a collection shown in the Capital Museum in Beijing in 2017, alongside a retrospective of Mme Pan’s paintings. $.
