Footnotes

Born in Stockholm in 1858, William Feron was the son of the famous jeweller Ludwig Constantin Feron, who owned Möllenborgs, the largest jewellery firm in Sweden. William first studied at the Tekniska Skolan and then at the Art Academy in Stockholm. He travelled to Paris in 1880, working in the city for much of the 1880s, where the present lot was almost certainly painted. He exhibited at the Paris Salon between 1882 and 1885, and at the Exposition Universelle of 1889. Feron is regarded as one of the first Swedish artists who was influenced by the Impressionist movement. A work by the artist entitled Spring in Paris 1887 is in the collection of The Gothenburg Museum of Art in Sweden.

The motif of the red umbrella is one that Feron used a number of times in his painting, including in a work entitled The red umbrella, sold in these rooms, 27 March 2007, lot 96.
