专家说明

Jacques Chalom des Cordes will include this work in his forthcoming Van Dongen catalogue critique being prepared under the sponsorship of the Wildenstein Institute.

In 1947, the publisher Gallimard released the novel A la recherche du temps perdu by Marcel Proust, illustrated with 77 watercolors by Van Dongen made especially for this publication. The present work is part of this extraordinary body of illustration, and was gifted by the artist to the Proust family.
