About the Item
Signed lower left "G. Brisgard" (Gustave Joseph Marie Brisgand, 1867 - 1944). This stunning portrait of a supposedly young movie star captures the essence of old school glamor in the film industry (perhaps old Hollywood...). Dressed in a beautiful stage gown, she holds an intricately patterned box close to her heart. What treasures could be inside? Perhaps precious jewelry or heartfelt letters from a special someone. Who knows... One thing is certain, this box holds great value to her. In 1993, this painting was entitled “Le Secret”, it was masterly executed in early 20th century in the manner of Pre-Raphaelites with strong flavor of Art Nouveau though.

Weight of app. 3.6 kg is going to measure 7 kg packed for shipment.
Brisgand's, french painter and pastellist. An academic painter, he specialized in portraits of women (pinups) and female nudes. He was the student of Auguste Allongé, then of Tony Robert-Fleury and Jules Joseph Lefebvre, much influenced by Ingres. He exhibited at the Salon of French Artists from 1893 to 1936. During his first period, he mainly painted landscapes. Then, drawing inspiration from Alphonse de Lamartine, Victor Hugo and Albert Samain, he composed sensual pastels: Extase, Salomé, Tentation, etc. When Brisgand went to the United States, the reporters of the New World, who liked definitive formulas, hailed him as “the technician of the woman's figure ”. Around 1910 he was invited to the English court, where he painted the portrait of Queen Mary. During his career, he also produced the portraits of Catulle Mendès, Réjane, Polaire, Monna Delza, Jagatjit Singh the Maharaja of Kapurthala, Lucie Delarue-Mardrus, Cécile Sorel, Charlotte Lysès, Gaby Deslys, Michel Georges - Michel, Gabrielle Colonna-Romano, Jane Renouardt, Rose Grane, Stacia Napierkowska, Renée Falconetti, Yvonne Printemps, Paul Durand-Ruel, la Bégum, Jean Desthieux, Renée Dahon, Marlène Dietrich, Jean Harlow, Meg Lemonnier, Yvette Chauviré, Musidora, Lycette Darsonval, Aston Knight, Pierre-Barthélemy Gheusi, Jeanne Provost, General Gamelin and the “Countess of Paris” Isabelle d'Orléans-Bragance. His paintings and illustrations have been published in the journals L'Illustration, Le Figaro Artistique, Les Annales Politiques et Littéraires, Fantasio and Le Théâtre. He was made a knight of the Legion of Honor in 1934. He married in 1901 the actress Jane Sabrier, from whom he divorced, then in 1926 with Catherine Ferber, from whom he also divorced. Several personal exhibitions were devoted to him: in 1911 at the Arthur Tooth & Sons gallery, in 1918 at the Georges Petit gallery, in 1922 in Rio de Janeiro, in 1924 in Egypt, in 1927 at the Gérard Frères gallery and in 1936 at the Raphaël Gérard gallery. An album was published on him in the “Drogues et Peintures” collection, a contemporary art album by Laboratoires Chantereau. He was a member of the jury for Miss France 1936.

- Portrait of Old Woman 1893 by Famous Russian Master Oil Painting on Canvas FrameLocated in Stockholm, SEAttributed by Nikolay Alekseyevich Kasatkin (1859 - 1930). In this touching artwork, the artist perfectly conveyed the character of the old woman, who has seen a lot in her life. The hands, tired out and riddled with veins, lie helplessly on the knees. Her slouched body tells us about the load of years lived. The painter skillfully conveys a sense of wisdom, kindness, and humility through her wrinkled face and detached gaze. The painting exudes warmth with a subtle touch of sadness and reflection on a life lived. Thanks to moderately contrasting colors, the portrait comes to life and shows us the depth of the artist's intention. Kasatkin not only continued the traditions of the best masters of portraiture in Russia in the 19th century, but also introduced new principles into it. He sought to display on canvas not only the external features of a person, but also to demonstrate his spiritual world. Antique oil painting on canvas, signed bottom left, framed. Size app.: 68.5 x 52.3 cm (roughly 27 x 20.6 in), frame is 80.5 x 63.5 cm (roughly 31.7 x 25 in). Very good condition, very well preserved recently conserved condition with minimal wear (notice few micro losses here and there). Please study good resolution images for cosmetic condition. In person actual painting may appear darker or brighter than in our pictures, strictly depending on sufficient light in your environment. Weight of app. 5.4 kg is going to measure 8 kg packed for shipment. Nikolay Alekseyevich Kasatkin (1859 - 1930) was a Russian painter, considered to be one of the founders of Social Realism in Russia. From 1873 to 1883 he studied at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture with Vasily Perov and Illarion Pryanishnikov. Upon graduating, he received a medal for his painting "Beggars at the Church Door". In 1891, he began exhibiting with the Peredvizhniki and, from 1894 to 1917, was a teacher at his alma mater. For thirty years, beginning in 1883, he worked with Ivan Sytin, providing illustrations for his popular almanac/calendars and teaching lithography. He also contributed The Great Reform, an encyclopedia that celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of the Emancipation (1861), and a collection called "Russian History in Pictures". In 1903, he became a member of the Imperial Academy of Arts. He participated in the Exposition Universelle (1900), where he won a silver medal, and the Louisiana Purchase Exposition (1904), among others. In 1923, following the Civil War, he was named the first "People's Artist of the Republic" and became a member of the AKhRR (Association of Artists). He is considered to be one of the forerunners of Socialist Realism in the arts and was sometimes called the "Gorky of Painters". In 1956, the Soviet Union honored him with a 40 kopeck commemorative postage stamp. In 1971, his painting of a female mine worker...Category
