Related work: - Artcurial auction of October 22, 2007, lot no. 478, sold for 17,000 € Comparative bibliography: - Michel Kellermann, *André Derain, Catalogue Raisonné of Paintings*, Paris, Galerie Schmit, several volumes. - Denys Sutton, *André Derain*, Phaidon, Oxford, 1959. - Artcurial Catalog, Modern Art 2, Paris, October 22, 2007, lot 478, *Les Boules*. Note: While Derain remains primarily associated with painting, sculpture occupies a unique place in his body of work, particularly from the 1930s onward. *Les Boules* reflects his interest in archaic and folk arts: the powerfully modeled frontal face is constructed from basic volumes and spherical motifs that give it the appearance of a mask.
