Thanks JWC I work hard to keep my followers happy. This painting sold at Christies ‘Russian Works of Art & Fabergé’ sale for $1,195,830. Together with the pair of boxing gloves used in the composition.
Actually, the painter's last name is Somov. Konstantin Andreevich Somov - or Somoff, French-style. He was a wonderful artist; I'm so glad this piece did so well at auction. I love this painting, which is a lot more straightforward than much of his work. He did a lot of really very racy watercolors...!
