Mrs. V. Trachtenberg, New York. Boris Solotareff (1889-1966), New York. [1] Sold [through Christie, Manson & Woods, London, July 9, 1965, lot 78]; to Perman. [Spencer A. Samuels & Company, LTD, New York], sold; to Arthur K. Solomon, Cambridge, 1967 Notes [1] According to Maison the drawing passed through a sale in Paris on June 14, 1966 in Paris at Palais Galleria as lot 6. However, the drawing's dimensions and the reproduction in the catalogue do not match this work. Maison and the catalogue are the only places we have found the drawing to list Louis Lemaire and Lefevre Gallery and it is likely an error
