Le pesage à Deauville
Circa 1930

Pencil drawing on wove paper with watermark "ARCHES" 49.9 x 65.7 cm Signed 'Raoul Dufy' lower right. - Red numeration stamp "807" of the estate inventory verso lower right. - The edges of the laid paper slightly greyed; brownish stains lower left from the estate stamp verso; otherwise in fine condition.
