拍品專文

The provenance of this work suggests that it was acquired by the artist Robert Bevan, when, towards the end of 1891, he cut short his first sojourn in Pont-Aven in Brittany to enjoy a 'year out' in Tangier where Joseph Crawhall, a fellow hunting enthusiast, habitually wintered. Another member of the expatriate sporting fraternity was George Denholm Armour. Armour's Bridle and Brush, Reminiscences of an Artist Sportsman (1937) tells of the entertainment provided by the unorthodox Tangier 'Hunt', of which Bevan became MFH. Reminiscing about Crawhall in an article in Connoisseur in December 1936, Armour recalled, 'No humourous incident passed without his recording it in sketches ..., Joe never valued them at all and anyone who chanced to be with him at the time could have them .... I often wonder where all the others went.'

Bevan returned to Pont-Aven at the end of the hunting season in the spring of 1893 and neither he nor Crawhall returned to Tangier.
