Camargo Ballet backcloth, 1931

Camargo Ballet backcloth design, c.1931
(also dated as 1934: Anthony d'Offay Gallery (1) 1969)
Pencil, 26.7 cm x 31.8 cm.

This study appears to have been signed at some date following its reproduction in Roberts's Paintings 1917–1958 (1960). Possibly this and the other pencil studies (above) were signed and, in the other cases, inscribed and incorrectly dated (in ballpoint) at the same time – perhaps in advance of this work's exhibition at the Anthony d'Offay Gallery in 1969.
PROVENANCE: Private collection, UK > Offer Waterman (before Nov. 2006)
EXHIBITION HISTORY: Anthony d'Offay Gallery (1) 1969
