Notes by Claudine Monteil *: 

      The painting represents Simone with one of her carnets (where she was writing her diaries) around 1936, before she was published. At the time she was dreaming of becoming a writer at the time and her sister was dreaming to become a writer.  "All Men Are Mortal" is considered in France as a novel and was Hélène de Beauvoir's favorite novel of her sister. I also love this book because it shows us how lucky we human beings are to be mortal.
