Description
Kees Van Dongen (1877-1968)
Carriage on horseback Charcoal on paper monogrammed lower right 60 x 76 cm Condition report: Framed "If you want to see a great loner, one of the most feared wildcats in the independent pampas, linger at the Folies Bergère. [They call him the nocturnal bearded one, because he prowls tirelessly around his lair, which is a large studio [...]. the first amateur comes along, and the beast feeds, gains strength and boldness, and is seen fighting. The hunters who have made such fine speculative paintings out of modern painting follow in his footsteps. And Kees van Dongen has become a great fawn." R. Gignoux, 1911
