Provenance and history: Our work was commissioned (along with another sculpture, the nature of neither being known) by the current owner's grandfather during the Salon de la Société des Artistes Décorateurs in Paris in 1926. As evidenced by a document dated May 15, 1926, which has remained in the original purchaser's family and a copy of which may be given to the buyer, this was in fact a form of subscription for two future works, for which 3,400 Francs were paid at the aforementioned Salon.
