Description

Sold to Jean Baignères. Repurchased by the family for 10,500 francs in 1990 at a public auction in Le Havre. Jean Baignères (1902–1982), son of the painter Paul Baignères (1869–1945), after working as a manager in various companies, opened a small gallery in 1944 at 142 Boulevard Saint-Germain. Later, he gave up his gallery and organised exhibitions in various European countries and as far afield as New York. He regularly purchased and exhibited works by Caillard.
