Catalogue Note
Frère de Jan Verhas, Frans Verhas étudie aux Beaux Arts de Bruxelles et participe au Salon de Paris, notamment en 1878 et 1879. Il a fréquemment peint des portraits de jeunes femmes portant un Kimono, sujet récurrent entre 1871 et 1878 dans des compositions alliant jeux d'enfants et élégantes dans des intérieurs richement ornés. Un panneau preque identique, sans la jeune femme en robe noire, est passé en vente à Amsterdam en Octobre 2006.
