Unten links signiert: V. Corcos. 52 × 36 cm. Provenienz: - Sammlung Giorgio Huhn, Lugano. - Schweizer Privatbesitz, als Geschenk von Obigem erhalten, 1968. - Durch Erbfolge an heutige Besitzer, Schweizer Privatbesitz. Bereits in jungen Jahren zeigte der in der italienischen Hafenstadt Livorno geborene Vittorio Matteo Corcos eine künstlerische Begabung. Mit sechzehn Jahren wurde er an der Accademia di Belle Arti in Florenz aufgenommen und studierte anschliessend in Neapel bei dem Künstler Domenico Morelli (1823–1901). 1880 zog er nach Paris und machte Bekanntschaft mit den dort lebenden italienischen Künstlern Giuseppe de Nittis (1846–1884) und Giovanni Boldini (1842–1931). Beide Künstler wirkten mit grossem Einfluss auf Corcos stilistische Entwicklung. An den regelm?ssig von de Nittis veranstalteten Salons traf er auf Pers?nlichkeiten wie édouard Manet (1832–1883), Edgar Degas (1834–1917) und seinen zukünftigen H?ndler Adolphe Goupil (1806–1893). Er etabliert sich schnell in der Kunstwelt und machte sich bald den Ruf als "peintres des jolies femmes", wie ihn der Times-Korrespondent, Henri De Blowitz (1825–1903), zu bezeichnen pflegte. Prof. Dr. Francesca Dini best?tigt mündlich die Eigenh?ndigkeit des Gem?ldes nach Prüfung des Originals, wofür wir ihr danken.
