Adham WANLY (1908-1959). Het bal van de wasvrouw. Olie op karton gesigneerd en gedateerd 1948 linksonder. Op de achterkant staat de titel: "The Laundress's Ball", de identiteit van de oorspronkelijke eigenaar, de heer Robert Karsenty, evenals de medehandtekening van de kunstenaar die het werk in 1948 in Alexandrië, Egypte plaatste. Olieverf op karton. Afmetingen: 47,5 x 32,8 cm. Provenance: Robert Karsenty privécollectie, schilderij waarschijnlijk verworven van de kunstenaar in 1948 (in Alexandrië of Parijs?), daarna privécollectie door afstamming. De rode draad tussen de artiest, de familie Karsenty en het behandelde onderwerp is gebaseerd op een gemeenschappelijke basis: de wereld van entertainment. Adham Wanly, Egyptische kunstenaar, broer van de schilder Seif Wanly, vertegenwoordigde voornamelijk scènes uit shows, circussen, opera's en cabaret. Zo behandelde hij onder meer optredens in het Cairo Opera House of in het Mohamed Ali Theatre in Alexandrië. Robert Karesenty was de beheerder van de Galas Karsenty in de jaren 40. De Galas Karsenty werden in 1919 opgericht door Raphaël Karsenty, die stierf in 1932. Zijn neef Marcel Karsenty nam na zijn dood in 1932 de leiding over, gesteund door zijn broers ROBERT en Pierre . Deze familie was invloedrijk in de entertainmentwereld gedurende de 20e eeuw en genereerde samenwerkingen met artiesten als Sacha Guitry, Raimu, Louis Jouvet en later Louis de Funès, om er maar een paar te noemen. De lijst met Karsenty-galaprogramma's vertelt ons dat de groep in 1948 in Egypte optrad... Dit was misschien wel het ontmoetingspunt tussen de Egyptische schilder en de showdirecteur. Maar laten we onderstrepen dat de aanwezigheid van de gebroeders Wanly potentieel bewezen is in hetzelfde jaar in Parijs, inderdaad, we vinden een schilderij getiteld "Ballet des champs Elysées, Irène Skorik saluting the public", geschilderd door haar broer Seif Wanly in 1948 (Bonhams Uitverkoop Londen, 10/12/2016).
