Catalogue Note

This work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity by Michel Reymondin.
The painting depicts the artist’s daughter during her second stay in the charming village of Yvoire, located on the French shores of the Léman. Bocion used to row across the lake in a small boat. This work was painted on the same day as another one “Célestine”, which is quite rare for the artist.

Dieses Gemälde wird von einem Echtheitszertifikat von Michel Reymondin begleitet. 
Dargestellt ist die Tochter des Künstler's während ihres zweiten Aufenthaltes im Dorf Yvoire, welches am französischen Ufer des Genfersees liegt. Bocion pflegte auf dem Genfersee zu rudern. Dieses Gemälde wurde am selben Tag gemalt wie "Célestine", was für den Künstler ziemlich selten ist.
