Painted under influences in the french period of the painter, there is a combination of pointille influences and the start of the pre-impressionists. The way of painting on paper gives the opportunity to use the background as a way to deepen the contrast, the black small spots highlight this effect. There is some resemblance with the way of painting of his friend Degas. Provenance:
