PROVENANCE
Collection of Martine Marie Pol de Béhague, Comtesse de Béarn (1869-
1939), Paris, and thence by descent to the present owner.
The young heiress Martine Marie Pol de Béhague, (1869 - 1939) became
Comtesse de Béarn when she married René-Marie-Hector de Galard de
Brassac de Béarn in 1890. She inherited from her parents an immense
fortune and a beautiful house in Paris which became one of the most
elegant places of her times. The Comtesse lived with grand style enjoying
the company of artists such as painter Paul Helleu but also writers and
musicians: Paul Verlaine, Paul Valery, George Bizet or Gabriel Fauré. She
travelled the world collecting art and reunited a very eclectic collection
mixing Old Masters with masterpieces by Tiepolo, Guardi, Watteau and
also Titien, manuscripts, antiquities and Chinese works of art.
