Note du spécialiste

Jacqueline Matisse Monnier and the Association Marcel Duchamp have confirmed the authenticity of this work.

The artist gifted the present drawing to Mme Hervieu in 1915 before he left Paris for New York. He also gave her a key to access his Paris studio. At the time, Mme Hervieu was dating Dr. Raymond Dumouchel, one of Duchamp's life-long friends and an old classmate from their childhood spent in Rouen.
