專家說明

Galerie Brame & Lorenceau will include this painting in their forthcoming Fantin-Latour catalogue raisonn.

Fantin-Latour met the Edwardses, the first owners of this painting, in 1861 through the introductions of the artists James McNeill Whistler and Mathew White Ridley. Mr. Edwards, a lawyer and an artist, acted as the artist's agent, patron and friend until his death in 1879, after which Mrs. Edwards continued to work actively on the artist's behalf.

After the end of the Franco-Prussian War in 1871, Mr. Edwards transported many still-life paintings from Fantin-Latour's Paris studio for sale in London where they met with great success. Consequently the demand among English collectors for Fantin-Latour's still-life subjects remained high, assuring the artist a welcome, regular income.
