270 THE CASTLE

271 TABLE BY THE WINDOW

Oil on canvas. 128 X 79 cm. Inv. No 3352 Signed on the reverse, upper left: a derain A watercolor View from the Window, similar to the Moscow picture, is now in the Flechtheim Collection, Diisseldorf. According to C. Einstein, it represents a sketch for Table by the Window. On the evidence of Alice Derain, wife of the artist, the Moscow canvas was painted in 1912 at Cahors. Its other analogues are Landscape in Provence (1914) and The Window (1913), both in the Kunstmuseum, Basle. The canvas may be dated 1912—13.

Provenance: The D. H. Kahnweiler Collection, Paris (No 1375); 1913—18 The S. Shchukin Collection, Moscow; 1918—48 The Museum of Modern Western Art, Moscow; since 1948 The Pushkin ' Museum of Fine Arts, Moscow

271 TABLE BY THE WINDOW

272 TREE TRUNKS

Oil on canvas. 92 X 73 cm. Inv. No 3378 Signed and dated on the reverse upper left: a derain The picture was painted in 1912 or 1913. Written on the reverse side of the subframe is Derain's address: Villa Paradis (Le Martigues); apparently the canvas was executed here. This is also corroborated by the existence of a similar 1912 variant, entitled Pine Grovz at Le Martigues. Kahnweiler dates the Pushkin Museum painting to 1913. It was bought by Ivan Morozov from D. H. Kahnweiler in 1913 for 2,500 francs. Provenance: until 1913 The D. H. Kahnweiler Collection, Paris (No 1474); 1913—18 The I.

273 THE OLD BRIDGE

Oil on canvas. 73 X 92 cm. Inv. No 3278 Signed on the reverse upper left: a derain It is possible that the Pushkin Museum picture depicts a bridge at Cagnes, where Derain worked in 1910. Another landscape of 1910, entitled The Old Bridge at Cagnes (see: D. Sutton, Andre Derain, Cologne, 1960, p. 12), features a similar locality, so that it is usually assumed that the Moscow canvas represents the bridge at Cagnes and refers to 1910. D. H. Kahn-weiler, however, thinks that it was painted later, in 1912.
