We would like to thank Robert Cozzolino for his assistance with cataloguing this lot.
The present work is related to Peter Blume's monumental painting Tasso's Oak (1957-60) in the collection of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. A surrealist rooftop composition inspired by the artist's time as Artist in Residence at the American Academy in Rome, early versions of the work originally included similar drapery around the women knitting at lower left. While he ultimately did not include the detail in the final painting, he later made this unusually finished drawing of the element separately.
