Description Provenance Exhibitions Bibliography

The present plaster shows Canadian actress Mary Pickford. It is likely the actress met Troubetzkoy in Hollywood around 1919-1920, when she was at the apex of her acting career. The artwork was exhibited at the gallery Georges Petit of Paris in 1921, when Troubetzkoy had returned to Europe (Frezzotti, 2017).
