Provenance
Martin du Louvre, Paris
Note: After her studies at the Slade in London, Henderson went to Paris where she continued her studies at the Academie Moderne, Académie Colarossi, Cercle Russe and the Académie de La Palette (studying with cubist painter Amédée Ozenfant and André Dunoyer de Segonzac) under Henri Le Fauconnier.
The present paining shows Henderson's awareness of Braque's cubist landscapes painted at L'Estaque in 1908/9.
