painted in Paris or Le Tremblay-sur-Mauldre on 19 November 1938; oil on
canvas; 97 X 130 cm.  Zerros oeuvre catalogue, vol. IX:240.  Most recent
reproduction in b/w is in Jean Sutherland Boggs, "Picasso and Things," exh.
catalogue 1992, p. 254 fig. 100a (titled "Black Bull, Book, Palette, and
Candle."
 
The work is currently held in a private collection in Japan: can anyone tell
