ANDRÉ DERAIN
Self Portrait.

Pencil on tissue-thin, tan paper on card, 1932. 164x119 mm; 6 1/2x4 3/4 inches. Signed in pencil, lower right recto, and dated in pencil, upper right recto.

Acquired directly from the artist by Ladislas Segy in Paris, circa 1930s; thence by descent to Helena Segy. Segy, an eminent dealer and scholar of African art, built relationships with several modern artists in the 1930s and amassed a collection of self portraits both as gifts and in exchange for African artwork.
