According to Marie-Lize Gall this study was part of a series of nudes the artist did in 1947. The sitter is the artist’s young wife Eugénie and was a study for an oil on canvas. The paintings from this series were extremely popular and were accepted at the official salons of Paris and exhibited with various dealers worldwide. We would like to thank Marie-Lize Gall of Comité François Gall for confirming the authenticity of this lot. This work will appear in the forthcoming catalogue raisonné on Gall’s work (no. 699).
