Charles-Auguste Girard was an important Paris dealer between 1926 and 1960, presenting artists such as Albert Marquet, Moïse Kisling, André Derain and Maurice de Vlaminck. During the Second World War, he took refuge in Algeria with Albert and Marcelle Marquet. Robert Martinet, Albert Marquet's brother-in-law, was an art dealer in Algiers and organized exhibitions with Robert Martin in Oran at the La Colline gallery. Our painting bears witness to these links between Marquet, Robert Martinet and Charles-Auguste Girard. Expert : Mr Raphaël MAKET 01.42.25.89.33
