Thaulow, Frits(1847-1906)
Two Horses and a Carriage in a Village Street

Oil on canvas
38x46
Signed lower left: Frits Thaulow.

Original frame. Annotated on a torn note of paper on the back of the frame: "Expos... Frits Thaulow 5-31 Janvier 191... Léon Yeatman".

The note of paper stems from Georges Petit, one of Thaulow's Art-Dealers, who initiated an exhibition with paintings by the artist in 1917. The top of the label amongst other things are missing. The whole label must have looked like this: "Galerie Georges Petit, 8, Rue de Sèze, Paris, exposition, Frits Thaulow, 5-31 Janvier 1917, Léon Yeatman".

Georges Petit (1856-1920) was one of Thaulow's most renowned Art-Dealers. The exhibition in 1917 had no catalogue. The only thing in existence from the exhibition, is 4 photographs of the paintings hanging on the walls in the exhibition-room, and this painting "Two Horses and a Carriage in a Village Street" is identifiable in the second photograph from the top.

Provenance:

Léon Yeatman, Paris 1917. (Letters from Marcel Proust to one Léon Yeatman from 1894, 1897 and 1901 exist on the web).
