PROVENANCE :
- Former Jacques Doucet collection (oral tradition).
- Sale Ader-Picard-Tajan, April 24, 1989, lot n°199; private collection.
- Exhibition: at the Salon d'Automne in 1913, Léon Indenbaum exhibited under no. 969 a fragment of a bas-relief entitled "Les Bergers" belonging to M. J. D. (Jacques Doucet, then the artist's only major patron). Our panels were probably part of this shipment.
HISTORY :
Léon Indenbaum always made terracotta projects of his works, before accepting the clients and realizing them in more noble stone, such as marble or onyx. Jacques Doucet commissioned a large bas-relief for his dining room on the Avenue du Bois, and Léon Indenbaum had to make a few proposals, such as our patinated terra cotta panels, before delivering the "Idyll" in September 1913.
A certificate from Léon Indenbaum's successor will be given to the buyer.
