Henri-Guillaume Schlesinger
A Spanish Beauty - 19th Century Portrait of Girl with Fan - 1863 Paris Salon
1863

About the Item

This is a very large fine 19th century oil on canvas depicting a ‘Spanish Beauty’ with a fan by the world-renowned French painter Henri-Guillaume Schlesinger (1814-1893). The painting is signed by the artist and dated 1863. The painting hangs in an original mid-19th century Charles X giltwood frame with anthemion corners. As with all of the original antique oil paintings we sell it is offered in the very finest condition it can be for its age, having just been professionally cleaned and re-varnished. Henri Guillaume Schlesinger studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna before moving to live and work in Paris. Between 1840-1889 he exhibited many paintings at the Paris Salon, becoming one of mid-19th century France’s most popular subject painters. In 1837 Schlesinger produced one of his most famous pictures; a large equestrian portrait of Sultan Mahmoud II which still hangs in the collection of the palace of Versailles. Although German by birth, in 1866 Henri-Guillaume Schlesinger was made a Chevalier of the Légion d’Honneur, officially becoming a French citizen four years later. Dimensions: (framed) 109cm x 94cm (43” x 37”) Dimensions: (canvas only) 92cm x 71cm (36¼” x 28”) Medium: Oil on canvas. Provenance: Private UK collection. Presentation: Mid-19th century Charles X French giltwood frame with anthemion corners. Condition: Excellent. Newly professionally cleaned and re-varnished. Ready to hang. We do not sell dirty, damaged or unframed works of art. Conservation: Where necessary the paintings we sell are cleaned and restored by John Malcolm of Fine Art Restorations (est.1974), a third-generation picture restorer with 40 years’ experience. About AFP Academy Fine Paintings is an international fine art dealership based in Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire, England. We specialise in 19th century British and early 20th century Post-Impressionist oil paintings by some of the most important artists of the period. My name is Gavin Claxton and in addition to being an art dealer I now also work as an antiques and fine art expert on BBC television. In addition to ebay we also sell via our own website and on the world’s two leading antiques and fine art portals. Condition We are the only fine art dealer selling on ebay to professionally clean and where necessary expertly restore all of our paintings before offering them for sale. Clients should always bear in mind that the vast majority of paintings we deal in are antiques - works over 100 years old and frequently much older – and will therefore invariably retain some evidence of aging, historical damage and repair. During its lifetime a 150-year old oil painting may well have been exposed to extremes of heat or cold, intrusion of water, bumps, cuts and natural age-related deterioration, all of which require restoration. Whilst our conservator is one of the most eminent in the UK, no restorer can reverse time and every sign of ageing and natural deterioration, therefore anyone wishing to purchase a painting that looks like new should think about buying a new painting rather than an antique one. Listing Terminology & Qualifiers When a listing's heading reads 'by' and is followed by the artist's full name (or the artist's initials, if his full name is unrecorded), the work is in our opinion by the artist. When the term 'signed' is used, in our opinion the work has been signed by the artist. When the expression "attributed to" is used, the work is in our opinion possibly a work by the artist, in whole or in part. When the expression 'circle of' is used, the work is in our opinion a work of the period of the artist and showing his influence. When the expression 'follower of' is used, the work is in our opinion a work executed in the artist's style but not necessarily by a pupil. When the expression 'manner of' is used, the work is in our opinion a work executed in the artist's style but of a later date. When the term "after" is used, the work is in our opinion a copy or imitation (of any date) of a work by the artist. When the term 'with signature' or 'bears signature' is used in our opinion the signature is by a hand other than that of the artist. Packaging Great care and much time is taken over the safe transportation of the paintings we sell. Safe shipping is predominantly about correct packaging; we only use the highest quality fine art packaging materials. No second-hand bubble-wrap and reused cardboards boxes here! Before leaving us, each painting takes us approximately 2 to 3 hours to properly (i.e. safely and securely) package for transport; whether for a journey or 30 miles or 3000. Every painting is first wrapped in acid free paper and then the entire frame is enveloped in deep, dense foam U cushioning. This is then covered in numerous layers of AirCap bubble wrap, which is the best and safest product of its type on the market. Sheets of high density fine art packaging card are then secured to the front and rear of the painting with waterproof cloth tape before the painting is then fitted in place inside a bespoke fine art shipping box. The entire package is then bound in black shrink wrap (as used by airline companies) and a final later of waterproof cloth tape is applied to all corners, ends and edges. Shipping We ship domestically and internationally with UPS and FedEx. We will ship to most locations worldwide; please send us an email for a quote. All buyers will need to supply a complete address and telephone contact number for shipping forms. UK clients are also most welcome to collect from us in South Buckinghamshire. Payment Terms We are very aware that not all of clients are in a position to pay the entire sale price upfront. All of the paintings offered as ebay ‘Buy It Now’ listings are available to buy across three monthly instalments. Any client wishing to utilise this payment method should drop me an email and once the total sale price and payment timetable has been agreed the painting will be removed from sale and reserved for the client. Payment instalments will incur no interest. Paintings will be dispatched to clients only once the total balance has been paid in full. …and finally It’s ironic that 99.9% of the world’s fine art is owned by the wealthiest 0.01% of the population when so many of the artists who created it lived and died in relative poverty. The fact is that the art world, especially in times of global recession, thrives on inequality. But whilst the possibility of purchasing works by Leighton, Holman Hunt, Constable, and Turner is always going to be the preserve of the super-rich it has never been a better time to invest in works by their contemporaries. Many thanks for visiting, and of course please do call or drop me an email any time. Best regards, Gavin Claxton
