Catalogue Note
The original owner of the present work was Mado Fournier, wife of artist-illustrator Gabriel Fournier. They lived not far from Signac in St Paul de Vence and Fournier recalls him as 'the pleasantest of neighbours... the most attentive friend, a very often exuberant comrade' (quoted in Gabriel Fournier, Cors de Chasse, 1912-1954, Geneva, 1957, pp. 190-91).
