French school end of 19th Century, Portrait of a man, charcoal drawing

1894

About the Item

French school end of 19th Century, Portrait of a man, charcoal on paper Signed ? and dated 94 (?) on the upper right Dedicated "A mon ami Gaguin (?)" on the lower right Framed : 57.5 x 47.5 cm This portrait of a man is highly characteristic of the art of the late 19th century, with overtones that clearly link it to the Symbolist movement. The post-impressionist technique and the look in the eyes of a man lost in thought add to its charm and mystery. It is undoubtedly signed and dated, but the inscription in the top right is unfortunately too difficult to decipher to give any clues as to the artist's identity. This is another mystery, as is the identity of the model, perhaps the friend to whom the work is dedicated.

    By Brian Stonehouse
    Located in London, GB
    Gouache and charcoal on paper, 53cm x 37cm (74cm x 55cm framed). Provenance: the Artist’s estate (stamped verso). Stonehouse had an extraordinary life. As a young art student studying fashion illustration, he joined the Royal Artillery at the beginning of WWII but soon became a part of the Special Operations Executive (SOE). He was sent to France as a radio operator but three and a half months later was caught by the Gestapo, tortured, given a death sentence and then selected for slave labour. He spent the subsequent war years in three French prisons and five concentration and labour camps, including Dachau. He still managed to continue to draw in some of the camps. Following the war, Stonehouse went to the US and continued his career as a fashion artist painting for magazines...
