oil on board, signed lower left, titled verso, circa 1935;  27 1/2 x 47 in., frame: 36 1/2 x 57 in.

Note: Pur-Sang is among the most compelling and personal works by Louis Icart, depicting his daughter Reine mounted on his prized white stallion Rossinante; retained in the artist’s own collection until after his death in 1950, it occupies a position of rare intimacy and significance within his practice.

Property from the estate of Richard Perry, the influential, Grammy Award–winning producer whose collaborations with artists including Barbra Streisand and Carly Simon helped define a generation.
