Catalogue Note
This lot is accompanied by a black and white photograph of the painting authenticated on the reverse by the artist's wife, Maria Tchirakhoff and is accompanied by a copy of Borghese's 1954 mongraph on the artist.
Karpo Tchirakhov first arrived in Paris as a nineteen year-old graduate from the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg, but it was his second visit in 1903 which would prove to have the greater impact on his oeuvre. It was then that he met leading French artists residing in the capital such as Rodin, Dégas and Toulouse-Lautrec and opened his own studio.
The offered lot is typical of Tchirakhov's Impressionistic and colourful Parisian views, which celebrate the French 'belle époque', its characters and their past-times.
