circa 1890

About the Item

Paul Lecomte (1842-1920) A Walk along a path Watercolor on paper, 27.5 x 18.5 cm Signed lower right and dedicated "A l'ami Fath" In its original vintage frame : 47 x 37 cm The composition of this beautiful watercolour is exemplary of Paul Lecomte's way of painting. For example, the sunken path and the walker with her back to us, which can be found in other of his works, invite the viewer's gaze towards the distance, and above all, of course, the tree on the left which traces a vertical line. The composition is thoughtful and careful, giving the impression that he painted outdoors on the motif. Finally, the brushstroke is particularly free in this watercolour, which undoubtedly indicates a more advanced date in the artist's career, moving away from a typical Barbizon School style to the impressionist touch of his contemporaries. Paul Lecomte was born in Paris on April 15, 1842. He was a painter of landscapes and coastal scenes. He is considered as one of the last quality representatives from the Barbizon School. He was the pupil of the painter Emile Lambinet (1813-1877) but the influence of Camille Corot and Henri Harpignies are the most noticeable in the developpement of his style. His art is deeply influenced by japonism just as his almost exact contemporary Claude Monet. He painted in Brittany, Normandy or South of France but also in England where he exhibited his works also. He exhibited regularly at the Paris Salon from 1868 onward, winning different medals and awards. He died in Paris on March 21, 1920. Works by his hand are held by the Louvre Museum and the Musée du Petit Palais in Paris the Musée des Beaux Arts in Mulhouse and the Musée Baron-Martin in Gray. Literature : Benezit, Schurr

  • View of Dunoon on the Clyde
    Located in Hillsborough, NC
    Scottish artist Robert Carrick (1829-1904) is renowned for his landscape and figurative paintings in oil and watercolor. This painting features detailed drawings of figures in the foreground with wagon, and the town and scenery in the background, painted over in watercolor in rich raw umber and red-brown tones in the foreground and blue green tones in the background. Carrick showed promise at a young age, exhibiting his work at the Royal Academy age 16. He was a member of the Royal Institute. This two-toned watercolor work has detailed figures, wagon with hay in the forefront above a view of Dunoon town near Glasgow as it was long ago. Signed by the artist, lower left with an inscription that reads: 'View of Dunoon, Argyllshire drawn by Robert Carrick, Glasgow, for David Allan'. Verso includes a copy of the same inscription. Saltire Gallerie replaced the cracked and dirty plain glass with art glass and added an acid-free paper behind the work. While doing this work we found an art giclee, included with the painting. Presented in a patterned wooden frame with art glass. Dunoon was a thriving town on the river at the time of this work, and later became part of Glasgow. The view from above the town is a popular one, as Saltire Gallerie has another view of Dunoon from above by Scottish artist Patrick Downie...
