About the Item
Art Nouveau coloured drawing of a young lady beauty before a mirror by Edmon Aman-Jean. The work is signed in pencil bottom left and presented in a plain wood frame with mount, under glass.
A very charming early 20th century drawing capturing a young beauty admiring herself in front of a dressing mirror. n the background a fine interior with a louis XVI commode, a fauteuil, marble statue and Chinese vase. The subject has the stylish short hair of the period and is wearing a fine silk dressing gown reminiscent of a kimono which was all the style at that period. A beautifully executed work capturing all the elegance and insouciance of the scene.
Edmond Aman-Jean (13 January 1858, Chevry-Cossigny – 25 January 1936, Paris) was a French symbolist painter, who co-founded the Salon des Tuileries in 1923.
Aman-Jean established his reputation primarily for his portraits, especially of female subjects; he was also noted for his murals in public and official buildings, including the Sorbonne. Like many French artists of his generation, he was influenced by the new perspectives on Japanese art current in Paris in his day; more unusually, he was interested in the Pre-Raphaelite artists in England.
He was a close friend of Georges Seurat; the two artists shared a Paris studio in 1879. Art historian Robert Herbert called Seurat's portrait of Aman-Jean, "one of the great portrait drawings of the nineteenth century." It was the first work Seurat showed, at the Paris Salon in 1883. Aman-Jean also worked in lithography and printmaking and designed posters.
