Indian Ink, acrylic and graphite on 200 gram paper from an auction catalogue titled “Catalogue des Tableaux Anciens, Objets d’Art et D’Ameublement, Collection… M.

Eugene Kraemer Collection, Auction to take place in Paris, at Gallery George Petite, 8 Seze Street, Monday the 28th and Tuesday the 29th of April, in the year 1913, at 2 o’clock.) This work was done on two pages from a rare, out of print auction catalogue purchased at an auction in Nice. Two pages from the catalogue were used as a background for an original painting. The pages were removed as one large sheet of paper. The numbers written in pencil next to the item description are a record of what that item sold for and were written by the catalogue holder at the time of the auction. © 2011 Neal Turner
