拍品专文

A handwritten old label on the backing paper identifies the sitter as 'Chanoinesse de Golmin trisaïeule de Ary Chevallier homme de lettres'.
The identification of this artist who often equals or surpasses Mosnier and Hall in the reproduction of silks and satins, is due to the only signed miniature by Hallé hitherto recorded, illustrated in J. de Bourgoing, Die Französische Bildnisminiatur, Vienna, 1928, pl. 45.
