Jacques Zoubaloff is best known as a collector of great European art from the sixteenth through the early nineteenth centuries, much of it donated to Parisian institutions in the 1920s, and as one of the first serious collectors of post-Impressionist and Modern art. He was also an amateur artist of some repute, to which these charmingly Modern collections of hand-colored lithographic still lifes attest.
