The work was most likely painted on one of the Woolf's many visits to France during the 1920s and 30s. The portrait remained in a private collection in Nice, France until recently. Marguerite Darbour (1865-1940) exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Indépendants from 1903 and became a member of the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts in 1922. She specialised in portrait and landscape subjects and had studios in Paris and Cassis. </span></div></div><div><div class="yiv5212157884MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri", "sans-serif";color:black;" lang="EN-US"> </span></div></div><div><div class="yiv5212157884MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri", "sans-serif";color:black;" lang="EN-US">The Court Gallery are offering the work for sale at £16,500.</span></div></div><div><div class="yiv5212157884MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri", "sans-serif";color:black;" lang="EN-US"> </span></div></div><div><div class="yiv5212157884MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri", "sans-serif";color:black;" lang="EN-US">Kind regards,</span></div></div><div><div class="yiv5212157884MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri", "sans-serif";color:black;" lang="EN-US"> </span></div></div><div><div class="yiv5212157884MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri", "sans-serif";color:black;" lang="EN-US">Denys Wilcox</span></div></div><div><div class="yiv5212157884MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri", "sans-serif";color:black;" lang="EN-US"> </span></div></div><div><div class="yiv5212157884MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri", "sans-serif";color:black;" lang="EN-US"><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.courtgallery.com/">www.courtgallery.com</a></span></div></div><div><div class="yiv5212157884MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri", "sans-serif";color:black;" lang="EN-US">01984 639969</span></div></div><div><div class="yiv5212157884MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri", "sans-serif";color:black;" lang="EN-US">07890 409703</span></div></div><div><div class="yiv5212157884MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri", "sans-serif";color:black;" lang="EN-US"> </span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="yiv5212157884MsoNormal"><br><br><br></div><pre>_______________________________________________</pre><pre>Vwoolf mailing list</pre><pre><a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:Vwoolf@lists.osu.edu" target="_blank" href="mailto:Vwoolf@lists.osu.edu">Vwoolf@lists.osu.edu</a></pre><pre><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://lists.osu.edu/mailman/listinfo/vwoolf">https://lists.osu.edu/mailman/listinfo/vwoolf</a></pre></blockquote><div class="yiv5212157884MsoNormal"> </div></div></blockquote><blockquote style="margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt;"><div><div class="yiv5212157884MsoNormal">_______________________________________________<br>Vwoolf mailing list<br><a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:Vwoolf@lists.osu.edu" target="_blank" href="mailto:Vwoolf@lists.osu.edu">Vwoolf@lists.osu.edu</a><br><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://lists.osu.edu/mailman/listinfo/vwoolf">https://lists.osu.edu/mailman/listinfo/vwoolf</a></div></div></blockquote></div></blockquote></div></blockquote><blockquote style="margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt;"><div><div class="yiv5212157884MsoNormal">_______________________________________________<br>Vwoolf mailing list<br><a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:Vwoolf@lists.osu.edu" target="_blank" href="mailto:Vwoolf@lists.osu.edu">Vwoolf@lists.osu.edu</a><br><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://lists.osu.edu/mailman/listinfo/vwoolf">https://lists.osu.edu/mailman/listinfo/vwoolf</a></div></div></blockquote></div></div></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>Vwoolf mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:Vwoolf@lists.osu.edu" href="mailto:Vwoolf@lists.osu.edu">Vwoolf@lists.osu.edu</a><br><a href="https://lists.osu.edu/mailman/listinfo/vwoolf" target="_blank">https://lists.osu.edu/mailman/listinfo/vwoolf</a><br><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></div></body></html>
