Ferdinand Heilbuth
Ferdinand Heilbuth, Woman lying on the shore, watercolor and gouache on paper

About the Item

Born German, Ferdinand Heilbuth (1826-1889) made most of his artistic career in France and specialized in outdoor genre scenes. This gouache watercolor depicts a young woman lying in the grass, contemplating the sea, holding in her hand some wild flowers picked during her walk. It is one of the elegant vacation scenes inviting the viewer to daydream which made Ferdinand Heilbuth’s reputation. Heilbuth participated in the creation of the Society of French Watercolorists in 1879 and his exhibitions there were particularly admired. Famous art critic Albert Wolff even wrote in Le Figaro on 22nd November 1889 that he was, in rendering nature, “a master in his watercolors even more than in his oil paintings”. This piece was part of the collection of the famous French dealer and collector François Gérard Seligmann (1912-1999). Bibliography: "Au temps de Marcel Proust. La collection François Gérard Seligmann au musée Carnavalet", (exhibition catalogue, Paris, musée Carnavalet, 31 octobre 2001 – 20 janvier 2002), Paris, Paris-Musées, 2001, p. 169 (ill.).
