Jules Pascin

Jules Pascin was a Bulgarian artist who lived and worked in France and the United States. He was a leading figure in the École de Paris, a group of immigrant artists who shaped Parisian avant-garde art after World War I. The subject of this drawing is Hermine David, who was also an artist and was married to Pascin from 1918 until his death in 1930. The composition closely matches that of “Portrait of Madame Pascin (Hermine David),” a painting made by Pascin circa 1915-1916 in the collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
