Show Details
The price is listed as 1700 francs.
Maine artist Mildred Burrage, who had studied and worked in Paris as a young woman, had the drawing and others from the 1930s in her collection, but several letters accompanying the fashion sketches suggest they were sent to another woman and then shared with Burrage.
