J. Tempier
French Character Portrait, Le Violoncelliste. (The Cellist). Allegro !

1978.

About the Item

Mid to late 20th century oil on board of a cellist by J. Tempier, signed bottom left and to the reverse with a reference to 78, quite probably the date of the painting and possibly titled 'Allegro' as noted to the reverse. An extremely lively and colourful representation of this cellist at play. The quick and incisive brushstrokes give great energy to the painting. The expression of concentration on the cellist's face show someone lost in the frenetic moment of the music whilst the sound echoes around the figure. An unusual, expressive and engaging painting with great energy.

  • 18th Century Portrait, Major Alexander Brown in Military Uniform
    By Sir David Wilkie
    Located in Cotignac, FR
    18th Century Military portrait of a young officer in Napoleonic period military dress. The painting is not signed but the subject is Major Alexander Brown. The work is oil on canvas later mounted on board and presented in a fine 'Regence style' carved gilt frame. There are labels to the back referring to the subject, 'Major Brown of Trinity' and a framers trade label from Edinburgh. A magnificent and imposing portrait of a young military officer in the prime of his life. His red uniform adorned with fine buttons, fringed epaulettes and high gilt collar. His ruddy complexion offset by his stylish hair, a quiff and swept forward to the sides as was the fashion at the time. Sir David Wilkie RA (18 November 1785 – 1 June 1841) was a Scottish painter, especially known for his portraits, including formal royal ones, and scenes from his travels to Europe and the Middle East. He painted successfully in a wide variety of genres, including historical scenes. His main base was in London, but he died and was buried at sea, off Gibraltar, returning from his first trip to the Middle East. He was sometimes known as the "people's painter". He was Principal Painter in Ordinary to King William IV and Queen Victoria. Apart from royal portraits, his best-known painting today is probably The Chelsea Pensioners Reading the Waterloo Dispatch of 1822 in Apsley House. Sir David Wilkie was actually admitted in 1799 (despite only being 14) through the influence of the Earl of Leven...
