拍品专文

Fanny Guillon-Laffaille will include this work in the forthcoming supplement to her Raoul Dufy catalogue raisonné.


Dufy dedicates this work to Carroll Carstairs, an American art dealer who served in the Grenadier Guards during World War I, and was awarded the Military Cross for his services. Carstairs went on to marry Susan Burks, sister of Ellen Yuille Blair, who inherited this piece. Blair and her husband Wolcott Blair were notable figures in their own right, regularly appearing in high society magazines, and were highly admired for their excellent sense of fashion and design from the 1920s through the 1960s.
