This work was originally purchased from Diego Rivera's first art broker, Alberto Misrachi, in January of 1944 by Gimbel Brothers. This work is signed and dated at the lower right.
This auction features several works from highly celebrated and collectible North Carolina artists, such as an oil on canvas by Claude Howell (NC, 1915-1997) titled, Heading Shrimp.
