I have to laugh. I have always thought that Bell Magori Varga was a man. I could never understand why a man would want a fur coat. I believe not that a closer date of the painting being done would have been in the 1920"s. Anyway, I would like to see the painting go back to Hungary. I would like to discuss selling the painting. Please advise.
