Work: 80,5 x 56 cm? Frame: 110 x 85 cm ? ? The reverse with an old 'Van Geluwe, Brussels, n° 12' label, most probably referring to Gustave Van Geluwe, tailor in the Tervurenlaan and close friends with artists such as Constant Permeke and James Ensor, who often paid with paintings. For example, the KMSKB (the Royal Museum of Fine Arts, Brussels) bought in 1963 another Permeke painting from the heirs of? Van Geluwe (link).
