Michel Roux-Spitz (1888–1957) was a major 20th-century French architect and urban planner, trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and a recipient of the Prix de Rome.
An astute art collector, he associated with and supported many artists of his time, reflecting his active engagement in the artistic life of the period.
This work will be referenced in the catalogue raisonné of Jean Dupas' works currently being prepared by Mr. Romain Lefebvre.
