Catalogue Note

Certaines études sont probablement des projets pour le paravent de Jean Patou vers 1923 (cf. Stéphane-Jacques Addade, Bernard Boutet de Monvel, Paris 2001, p. 189). Voir le lot 303 pour des portraits de Jean Patou. Certaines études de végétation sont préparatoires à Diane et Actéon (voir le lot 37).

Some studies were probably executed for Jean Patou's screen (c. 1923), and for Diana and Actaeon (see lot 37). See lot 303 for portraits of Jean Patou.
