oil on canvas
HGH comments: This painting, now in my possession, is the reward for a persistent lover. I was after this painting for seven years. It was offered to me by a gallery owner on the French Riviera who absolutely refused to negotiate the price: a very rare occurrence in the art world. But Max Savy had temporarily stopped producing and the dealer realized the strength of his position. And so it took me three trips St. Paul de Vence to buy the painting over seven years, finally we came to an agreement. The quality of the work speaks for itself but I don’t want to spend another seven years in buying a painting again.
