We thank Mr Bertrand Willot for having kindly confirmed the authenticity of this gouache.
"No one knows how many forgers have been and remain attached to his work, believing that it pleases, so much so that an authentic Genin is a rarity". - Bertrand Willot, author of several books on Lucien Genin, the latest of which "Lucien Genin, comme vous ne le connaissez pas" (Lucien Genin, as you don't know him) focuses more particularly on the painter's technique and the forgeries present on the art market.
