Roger Fry 'discovered' Cassis, the small port east of Toulon on the Mediterranean coast, in 1925 and painted there on several occasions. He stayed at the Hôtel Cendrillon, a modest, comfortable establishment in the town where, in a visit in spring 1925, Virginia Woolf found 'complete happiness'. Another Cassis painting from this year is in the Musée d'Orsay, Paris. We are grateful to Richard Shone for his assistance in cataloguing this lot.
