Guus Van Dongen is Kees Van Dongen's first wife. His paintings are rare on the market because they are mostly kept in the family. This interesting painting was made in 1914, when she shared the
studio of her illustrious husband the painter Kees Van Dongen. They just left the Bateau-Lavoir where they used to live next door to Picasso!
Provenance: Dolly Van Dongen (and by family succession), daughter of the artist and Kees Van Dongen.
In excellent condition
