About the Lot
The present lot is an exceptional example from Sohrab Sepehri's celebrated Tree Series. Executed in the late 1960's, the depiction of Trees, for Sepehri, represented an escape from the harsh urban environment that he found so oppressive and melancholic, longing for a return to the verdant pastures of his native Kashan.
Provenance
Property from a private collection, Lima Acquired directly from the artist by the present owners father, Carlos Ferreyros a prominent Peruvian collector, during his travels to Iran, circa 1967 thence by descent to the present owner
