Other Nº 71 in D'Atri papers as M. Brabandier - 46 x 38 - dated 1919 in the Venturi Collection.

Hanka Zborowska, widow of Leopold Zborowski expertized the work for Lionello Venturi, in the back of a photo she informed Venturi that
the painting was made in 1918 and represents his brother in law Doctor Francois Brabandier that sold to Venturi the painting in 1933.
In that expertise, Zborowska say this is the only portrait of his brother in law. (this is why the experts don't relate this portrait to the other)
