Catalogue Note
Proche de Gustave Miklos qui collabore avec lui dès 1922 pour les illustrations d'ouvrages, François-Louis Schmied (1873-1941) lui achète plusieures sculptures. Deux pièces de sa collection sont présentées à la Galerie La Renaissance en 1928 aux côtés d'oeuvres appartenant à Jacques Doucet et Jacques André. La Femme marchant, n. 26 du catalogue a été vendue chez Sotheby’s à Monaco, 21 avril 1991, lot 485, et la seconde, Jeune Homme debout, n. 22 est celle que nous présentons aujourd'hui.
François-Louis Schmied bought several sculptures from his collaborator and friend Gustave Miklos. Two were exhibited at the Galerie de la Renaissance, Paris, in 1928, together with other works that formed part of the collections of Jacques Doucet and Jacques André, the two most important collectors of Miklos' work at the time. One of the two, a study of a walking woman, catalogue number 26, was offered for sale at Sotheby's Monaco, 21 April 1991, lot 485. The other, young man standing, catalogue number 22, is offered here.
