Catalogue Note
The present work comes from the collection of Adolphe Simkoff (1889-1972), a doctor and prominent figure in Russian émigré circles in Paris. A graduate of the University of St Petersburg, Simkoff practiced for many years at the Foyer des Israélites Réfugiés (Home for Jewish Refugees). In 1933 he was awarded the Légion d'honneur in recognition of his distinguished service during World War I. His patients included a number of artists from whom he is said to have accepted paintings in lieu of payment.
