Provenance

• Paris, private collection
• Paris, former collection of Albert Sarraut (1872-1962)

A radical socialist, Albert Sarraut was a minister several times under the Third Republic and was twice named president of the council. A connoisseur of art, he amassed a collection that included paintings and sculptures by Picasso, Delacroix, Despiau, Derain, and Renoir. The critic Waldemar George dedicated an article to this exceptional collection in a 1939 issue of L’Art Vivant.
