Description of the artwork

Born in France near Bordeaux in 1931, Laura Pels settled in New York in the mid-1960s after living in Ethiopia. Her extensive culture and curiosity brought her closer to the artistic world. Alongside her support for independent theater through her philanthropic foundation, Laura Pels frequented numerous artists whose works she collected.
Françoise Gilot, who settled in the United States in 1955, became one of her close friends. Laura Pels's collection included no fewer than 16 works by Gilot, including this remarkable painting acquired directly from the artist.
