拍品資料及來源

This work was owned by Marie Cuttoli, who was a collector and patron of modern French art. She collaborated with artists, dealers and museum directors throughout the length of her illustrious career, which spanned roughly from 1920 to 1965. At the age of sixteen, Cuttoli moved to Paris where she was subject to the latest trends in modern artistic production and her marriage with collector Paul Cuttoli, who was a close friend of dealer Paul Guillaum, enabled her to fund and support her collection.
