Madrid, Spain
The owner is known. Whether it is on view today, the museum does not say, and we were not trained to guess.
En primer plano, figura infantil masculina, de perfil a la derecha. Sostiene con sus manos frente a sí un libro abierto. En segundo plano, al lado del niño, otra figura, de la que sólo vemos parte de la cabeza, se inclina hacia el niño y el libro. Al fondo, figura femenina infantil sentada a una mesa, sobre la que se inclina estudiando o leyendo. Lleva el pelo recogido en una coleta o trenza cayéndole por la espalda.

Galerie Georges Petit: nearly 500 works
A one-man show at the Galeries Georges Petit in Paris — figures, landscapes, portraits, early works and recent sun-drenched beaches — eclipsed all his earlier successes. His productivity amazed critics, the show was a financial triumph, and it brought him the rank of Officer of the Legion of Honour.
