Erskine CALDWELL (1903-1987) Self-portrait, 1972 Green ink. Monogrammed lower center. 16 x 22.5 cm Provenance : Christian Bernadac collection, Piasa sale, Paris, June 9, 2004, no. 20. Bibliography : Serge Fauchereau, Peintures et dessins d'écrivains, Paris, Belfond, 1991, p. 193: "Unlike his compatriots Miller and Faulkner, the author of Le Petit Arpent du Bon Dieu hardly ever drew. It is highly probable that this self-portrait, executed at the age of seventy, constitutes the bulk of his graphic work".
