About the Item

Isidore-Alexandre-Augustin PILS (1815–1875) A bewitching portrait of a young redheaded woman attributed to Isidore Pils. The same sitter appears in another of his other paintings, see last image for comparison. Unsigned, but bears an auction catalogue clipping relating to a sale in 1951. This painting dates to the end of of Pils’s career, when he was professor at École des Beaux-Arts. Pils was a French academic painter primarily of religious and military subjects. In 1831 he became a student at the École des Beaux-Arts and studied under François-Édouard Picot. He competed for the Prix de Rome, which he won in 1838 for a history painting, St. Peter Healing a Lame Man at the Door of the Temple. Although in poor health, Pils then spent the customary three years at the French Academy in Rome at the Villa Medici, which then had Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres as its director. While in Italy he visited Naples, Venice, and Florence.

    Bernard GAILLOT (Versailles 1780 – Paris, 1847) Portraits of two sisters Pair of oil on canvas H. 92 cm; L. 73 cm One signed Student of David, he presented his first works at the Salon of 1810. Mainly known for his portraits of children, his work does not seem extremely vast. More than a dozen religious paintings are kept in large Parisian or provincial churches (Val de Grâce, Saint-Denis, Notre Dame des Victoires, Collégiale d'Eu, etc.), and a few paintings on historical subjects are kept at the Palace of Versailles, made during major orders from Louis-Philippe for the opening of the Versailles Museum. He also produced numerous humorous drawings, mainly in wash, some of which were engraved. Our two portraits of little girls most certainly represent sisters and had remained in the family until today. Unfortunately, time has made them lose their identity... One is shown sitting at the foot of a tree, in front of a kiosk with very beautiful neoclassical architecture. She holds in her arms a multitude of freshly picked flowers, which she holds awkwardly. His sister with her little red patent shoes...
