Pavel Tchelitchew
Portrait of Bachoo, Countess Woronzow, 1946

1946

About the Item

Powerful pencil study of Bachoo, Countess Woronzow. Tchelitchew exaggerates the sitters features with abnormally large eyes for dramatic effect, Bachoo (Countess Bachoobai Woronzow-Dashkow, 1914-2003) and her brother Edulji Framroze Dinshaw (1916-1970), born into a very prominent Parsi family, settled New York in the 1940s. Leonor Fini painted Bachoo the same year and clearly Tchelitchew's version sings where Fini studders. Work is framed. Signed and dated lower right. Graphite pencil on buff paper Provenance: Estate of Jacqueline F. Rae Doyle New York, Unframed
