拍品專文

Nicholson and Marguerite Steen spent the greater part of 1938 and up to the spring of 1939 painting in France. Nicholson wrote to his son Ben in March 1939 that he lived in a charming flat at La Rochelle, and the present work depicts the street below with the painter's hat and coat on the left corner of the windowsill.
