Catalogue Note

In Le modèle au tabouret Raoul Dufy returns to one of his most-loved subjects, that of the model in the artist's studio. It is particularly evocative since it draws the viewer into the artist's world to such a degree that we even appear to take his place.

SInce 1911 Dufy had occupied a studio in the Impasse Guelma in Montmatre, distincti♈ve for its blue walls that infuse the palette of a number of fine works from the late 1920s.
