Lot Essay

It appears that in 1910, Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool, requested the current painting for be included in their annual exhibition, but the artist had already sold the painting to Mr Vatin.
We are grateful to Galerie Brame & Lorenceau and the Comité Raffaëlli for confirming the authenticity of this work. The work will be included in their digital Raffaëlli Catalogue critique, now in preparation.
