One of Soutine’s dealers, Guillaume handled much of the artist’s output in the 1920s.  Guillaume also had his own collection, most of which was acquired by the French state in the 1960s and is now at the Musée de l’Orangerie.  It is unclear in which capacity Guillaume handled the Cleveland Soutine.
citations: Jacques Doucet [1853-1929], Paris, presumably by inheritance to his wife Jeanne Roger Doucet date: 1928-1929 footnotes: *
Doucet, the influential French couturier, amassed an extensive art, furniture, and book collection.  When in his collection the Soutine hung next to Picasso’s Tete de l’Arlequin and Les Desmoiselles d’Avignon.
