Painter in the Jardin de Luxembourg, Paris

1919

About the Item

'Painter in the Jardin de Luxembourg, Paris', pastel on fine art paper, French School (1919). An intriguing depiction of a hatted-woman dressed in white at her easel in the park. A bucolic summer day, she sits under the foliage with dog at her side and wooden box of oils with which to feed her palette. She appears to be painting the statue nearby (most likely the Monument à Gabriel Vicaire, by Jean-Antoine Injalbert in the jardin. Vicaire was a French writer and poet who died in 1900). Given the subject of the painting, one wonders whether this is the artist's self-portrait or an artist painting another. The painting is 100 years old as of 2019. What a snippet of history! In fair vintage condition with some evident blemishes and slight fading commensurate with age. The overall image and structure however, are intact and the subject remains captivating. Signed (partially covered but visible in accompanying photos): "Prévot / '19" in lower righthand corner. Upon request a video of the piece will be provided. About the Artist: Acquired in the South of France, extensive research regarding the signature of the painting was conducted, however the exact identify of the Prévot or Prévost who signed the work remains inconclusive. There were several XIX / XX century renown French painters with this name. Dimensions with frame: W 52 cm / 20.5" H 39 cm / 15.4" Dimensions without frame: W 38 cm / 15.0" H 26 cm / 10.2"

  • On the Path
    Located in London, GB
    'On the Path', pastel and ink on art paper, by Suzanne Tourte (circa 1950s). Executed with a lively palette of colour, this is a surprisingly sophisticated modern work of art which belies its rather naive style. Flowered fields, green grassy patches, a curved path and blue skies all figure in this engaging landscape with two figures. Newly framed and glazed in anti-reflective glass, this work is in good overall condition. Signed: 'S X Tourte' in the lower right hand. Please enjoy the many photos accompanying the listing. Upon request, a video may be provided. About the Artist: Suzanne Tourte (1904-1979) was a French painter, engraver, medalist, fresco artist, lithographer and illustrator.

  • Le Pont Neuf
    By Lucien Génin
    Located in London, GB
    'Le Pont Neuf', gouache on fine art paper, by Lucien Génin (circa 1930s). The Pont Neuf is the oldest standing bridge across the river Seine in Paris, France. It stands by the western point of the Île de la Cité, the island in the middle of the river that was, between 250 and 225 BC, the birthplace of Paris. It is called 'The New Bridge' because at the time of its inauguration (built 1578-1607), it embodied a very modern look compared to other bridges which spanned the Seine. Lucien Génin has captured its beauty in this lively depiction from the 1930s. Just before the bridge is a 'Bateau Mouche' an open excursion boat that provides visitors with a view of the city from along the river. The artwork is in good overall condition commensurate with age and medium used. It has been newly frame with anti-reflective glass. Please enjoy the photos accompanying this listing. Signed by the artist in the lower left hand. Upon request a video may be provided. About the Artist: After the devastation of the First World War, Lucien Génin (1894 - 1953) left his provincial home in the autumn of 1919 to find his fortune among the lively Parisians in the heart of Montmartre. Génin befriended the painters Frank Will, Gen Paul, Émile Boyer, Marcel Leprin...
