          In 1985, Trudy van der Horst bought this watercolour at an art fair in the RAI in Amsterdam. She had always admired Constant for his watercolours. The purchase led Trudy to a personal meeting with the artist a little while later, which eventually resulted in Constant's fourth and final marriage.
