Private collection, Athens. Literature E. Florou, Yannis Tsarouchis, his Painting and his Era, Nea Synora - A.A. Livanis editions, Athens 1989, no. 184, p. 260 (listed). Yannis Tsarouchis (1910-1989) Painting, Yannis Tsarouchis Foundation, Athens 1990, no. 32, p. 37 (illustrated). In the mid-1930s, following a brief interlude of imaginary landscape views, Tsarouchis brought his early realism to a high degree of mastery in such exquisite works as Athlete with white vest, one of his first portraits to introduce the type of the male model which would eventually become the signature subject of his entire oeuvre.
