Nº 286 in D' Atri papers as Beatrice Hastings - 54.5 x 45.5 - dated 1916 - signed bottom right - Provenance in Paul Guillaume in 1929

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note:

This painting remains untraced from 1929 to 1956 and when it finally surfaces again in Beyeler is by the hand of Pfannstiel with a new name as Woman with red hair,
previously it was known as Beatrice Hastings.

Finally I will just add that Pfannstiel changes the size on purpose on his catalogue

Pfannstiel was the main purveyor for the Nazi French occupation troops.
( the original size in Pfannstiel 1956 is 36 x 27 and the painting is 46 x 38, but in D atri he say 54.5 x 45.5 it would be interesting to see if the painting has been cut??)
This painting probably has a war crime story unsolved

In the exhibition at the GAM - Isola & Norzi, Galleria d’Arte Moderna, 2012 they showed the X- ray of the painting and talked about the possibility that little Louise portrait was underneath the actual painting, but it's not clear if it is real or just a work for the exhibit.
