拍品專文

Wendy Baron comments on the present work, 'A camaïeu preparation in two colours (pinky browns and blues) of a woman in profile at a piano which could be a later reminiscence of the Tavernier project' (see W. Baron, loc. cit.). The sitter of some piano pictures of this period is Emily Powell, also known as 'Chicken'; the present work does not depict Chicken, but possibly Mlle Tavernier.
