Provenance
Originally purchased by a Hungarian gentleman, Mr. Gynes, for Henri Freppel, the owner of the Hotel Odeon. Gynes was a prisoner-of-war during World War II, but was treated well on account of his being a linguist. After the War, he moved to Paris and lived at the Hotel Odeon. He met Padamsee at an exhibition and the two became friends. This painting was purchased on Gynes first visit to Padamsee's studio in Paris.
