拍品專文

The sitter for this drawing is probably the artist's wife Charlotte Augusta Fernande Herpin, known as Josette. The dedication is to Léonce Rosenberg, Gris's dealer from April 1916 to 1920. Rosenberg was the owner of the Gallery L'Effort Moderne and from 1914 the dealer of all the leading Cubist artists including Picasso and Braque.
