Lot Essay

PAINTED CIRCA 1864-68, BRAME AND REFF NOTED OF THIS IMAGE: "IN ITS RATHER FORMAL CONCEPTION AND CONTROLLED EXECUTION THIS PORTRAIT SEEMS CONTEMPORARY WITH SUCH PORTRAITS OF THE MID-1860S AS DEGAS ET DE VALERNES (L.116) AND L'AMATEUR (L. 138). COMPARISONS WITH A PHOTOGRAPH SHOWING ITS CONDITION AT THE TIME OF DEGAS' DEATH REVEALS THAT IT HAS BEEN PARTLY REPAINTED, ESPECIALLY IN THE AREA OF THE HEAD." (BRAME AND REFF, P.46)
