1923, Leon Kroll, Frenchwoman: Portrait of a Lady from Honfleur -- Baltimore Museum of Art
From the museum label: Leon Kroll traveled to Europe for the third time in 1923. At thirty nine, he was a fairly successful painter and spent much of this journey in the company of the French artists Robert and Sonia Delaunay. During a side trip to the Normandy coast, Kroll painted this sensitive and revealing portrait. The name of the sitter is unknown, although he mentioned her in a letter to Etta Cone several years later: "She was a charming woman of distinction, who occupied the rest of the house in which I had an apartment in Honfleur."
