Richard Clague
Portrait of Woman with Jewelry

c. 1860

About the Item

Richard Clague was sent to school in Geneva to study painting with Jean-Charles Ferdinand Humbert (1813-1881) where Richard developed a preference for landscape painting. Following his father's death in December, 1836, he received a substantial inheritance which allowed him to continue his studies. After completing his studies, he travelled to Morocco, Algiers and other destinations in the Middle East where he kept a sketchbook (now in the New Orleans Museum of Art, Louisiana) and developed an interest in Oriental subject matter. Although he was largely trained in Europe, he settled in Louisiana, becoming part of the "Bayou School".He regularly painted with William Buck, Marshall Smith and their contemporaries, who often chose to paint similar scenes. Clague opened a studio in New Orleans in 1862, influencing artists such as William Aiken Walker and his pupil, William H. Buck. This painting is said to be General Beauregards wife, Caroline Deslonde (1831–1864). This is a wonderful example of the higher class in New Orleans at the time and is a very well done portrait in excellent condition.
