Lot Essay

"Photographs of Mowbray suggest that this may be a portrait of the artist and his model in his Paris studio dating from the early 1880s, for it is a stylistically early work. The drawing on the wall appears to be of the model holding a fan and the jugs suggest a Spanish influence, the result of Mowbray's trip to Spain in early 1880." (S. Edidin, An American Perspective: 19th Century Art from the Collection of Jo Ann and Julian Ganz, Jr., exhibition catalogue, Washington, D.C., 1982, p. 153)
