Hélion met Pegeen Vail in New York in the early 1940s. The daughter of Peggy Guggenheim and Laurence Vail, she became his partner and later his wife. This drawing from 1944 bears witness to her very early presence in Hélion’s figurative work, at a time when the painter was moving away from abstraction.
