Note:

In 1950, Molly Lamb Bobak’s (1922-2014) work came to the attention of Vatican Ambassador to the U.S., Jacques Maritain. Maritain arranged a scholarship for her which allowed her to spend time in France. Cindy Richmond writes that the visit to France “... lead to a series of paintings in the early fifties (this lot dates to 1951) which are important for the development of her mature style.”
