Lot Essay

This work will be included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonné prepared by Olivier Bertrand.

In 1893 Pokhitonov moved to Belgium to be close to his beloved sister Anastasia and her family. During his stay he became acquainted with the Collon family. Auguste Collon, a Belgian engineer, had spent several years in Baku where he was heavily involved in the development of the Russian oil industry. Lots 4, 5 and 7 bear dedications to members of the Collon family in whose possession these works remained until the present day.
