Catalogue Note
There is a female portrait in pencil and watercolour on the reverse.
Zakharov moved to New York in 1923 as a member of the committee in charge of the Grand Central Palace Exhibition, for which he also designed some of the promotional material. He exhibited 16 works, predominantly portraits, and went on to become a successful artist in the West with solo exhibitions in Philadelphia (1924), Paris (1933) and New York (1934). He received numerous commissions from affluent American patrons in subsequent years, including Mrs Woodrow Wilson and Charles Crane. The present still life is a particularly lovely example of his work, which appears infrequently on the open market.
