Alexander L WarshawskyThe girl from Saint Tropez: American artist in the South of France portrait1929
1929
About the Item
Alexander Warshawsky was born in Cleveland, Ohio on March 29, 1887. He studied painting at the Cleveland School of Art and the National Academy of Design in New York City. Warshawsky moved to France in 1916 and painted in Paris, Brittany and the South of France for almost two decades.
Alexander was the brother of Abel George Warshawsky, who was also living in France at the time. Both brothers were pacifists, serving together behind the French lines in World War I, decorating soldiers' huts with murals and organising sports events. In recognition for this work, the French government asked them to exhibit in the Luxembourg Gallery. They returned at least once a year to Cleveland. Several times they exhibited jointly.
On the Cote d'Azur, Alexander became friends with the Impressionist Paul Signac. The work by Warshawsky presented here, a lovely portait of a young girl wearing a fashionable "cloche" hat, was painted during one of his stays in Saint Tropez, which was only a small fishing village at the time.
By 1934, Warshawsky had relocated to Los Angeles, California, where he remained for the last twelve years of his life. Today his paintings can be found in the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum and the Cleveland Museum of Art.
Our "Girl from Saint Tropez" is presented in its original mount and a simple oak frame. The size of the gouache at sight is 30 x 23 cm. It is signed, dated and annotated at the lower right.

French 19th Century Romantic Period 1830s Paris Society Beauty Portrait
By Adele Grasset
Located in Norwich, GB
A astounding portrait of a society beauty by Adele Grasset (active ca 1830-1850). With an open face and and lightly smiling lips, she is wearing a gown typical of the romantic period. Drawn in graphite and heightened with white, the drawing is dated 1836
As often with woman artists of the 18th and 19th century, there is little biographical information available on Adèle Grasset. We do know however, that she had studied with the highly prominent artist François Gérard (1770-1837) , known also as the Baron Gérard...

French 19th Century Romantic Period 1830s Parisian Lady Portrait Madame Seguin
By Adele Grasset
Located in Norwich, GB
A stunning portrait of a Parisian beauty from the romantic period by Adele Grasset (active ca 1830-1850). With her intelligent eyes and determined look, doesn't this lady bear great resemblance to Chopin's paramour George Sand?
The sitter is Jeanne Marie Vidal, wife of Claude Auguste Seguin, from a prominent family in Avignon, as the family tree attached to the back for the frame indicates. Research in old annals has also revealed that Madame Seguin was a modern and independent lady: she worked in lady's fashion in Paris, and patented wrapping mechanism that protected lady's hats during their transport!
As often with woman artists of the 18th and 19th century, there is little biographical information available on the artist, Adèle Grasset. We do know however, that she had studied with the highly prominent artist François Gérard (1770-1837) , known also as the Baron Gérard...
