Charcoal & pencil signed “EZ” on the bottom left part. Provenance : Private collection Bordeaux. Comparable characters in the c.1915 Scene Oil canvas 46x55cm sold at Artcurial Paris on the 30-1-2002 lot 184. The
fascination with the stylistics of quattrocento was reinforced in the motif developed by the artist in the years 1910-23 of characters like fishermen. He spent the years 1914-16 in Nice and Vence and one can see the sharpness of the outlines which testifies to his vocation as a designer.
