About the Item
A virtuoso charcoal sketch by the Frech 19th Century master Gustave Jean Jacquet (1846-1904). It depicts a thoughtful woman (or woman in thought?) with her face resting on her hand, an a young child in page boy attire. Surely there is a story there...!
Gustave Jacquet was a pupil of William Bouguereau and began exhibiting at the Salon de Paris in 1865. He was awarded a third-class medal in 1868 and a first-class medal in 1875. He was decorated with the Légion d’Honneur in 1879. In his small canvases depicting genre subjects, Jacques evoked the elegance of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, with a conscientious attention to detail. In his portraits, he sometimes preferred to redress his models in the shimmering costumes of the 16th century.
Works by the artist can be found in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Brooklyn Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago, Sheffield Art Gallery in The UK, the Museum of Modern Art in Paris as well as in the museums of Blois, Chateau-Thierry, La Rochelle, and Rouen.
Our intriguing drawing is signed with the artist's estate stamp and measures 23 x 17.5 cm for the drawing visible under the mount, measured without the glass.

- French 19th Century Romantic Period 1830s Parisian Lady Portrait Madame SeguinBy Adele GrassetLocated in Norwich, GBA 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.
