Jean De Paleologue was born in Romania. While living in England he painted under the name of Julius Price. From England he moved to Paris where he began going by Pal. Pal created numerous illustrations from 1893-1900. He was well known for his illustrations o voluptuous women. Charles Matlack Price said that "Pal's idea was to make drawings of a nature more commercial than those of Cheret, yet no less artistic. He was also the only designer at the time, except Cheret, who understood the technique of lithography, and was able to put his own touches on the stone".
