Simka Simkhovitch
Head of a Gentleman sketch, mid modern

1926

About the Item

A superbly executed work, this work would have been done for reproduction in a book or magazine. Simkhovitch received quite a number of illustration jobs and could adapt his style to what was needed. A well trained academically trained artist, he could render impressive figurative works. There were a series of finely drawn and colored works with this feel in the estate of the artist and its not evident what job or publication they would have been for. It stands alone, as a lovely and sensitively rendered work of a gentleman from whom Simkhovitch probably drew from a photograph. The sight size of the work is 12 3/4 x 11. The size noted in description are the framed dimensions!

  • Woman, Yellow Shawl and Fan
    Located in Greenwich, CT
    An impressive and masterful depiction of a young woman with a fan. An American artist who studied and traveled in Europe and painted this painting before his return. It has its original frame which is magnificent. The frame has been regilded in th past 10 years. Vinton was abroad in the 1880s. The sitter gazes coyly over her fan in a gesture that ladies and gentleman of fin-de-siècle Europe would have understood to mean “wait for me,” and perhaps indicating her interest in a potential suitor. Vinton embarked on several trips to Europe—to Spain in 1882 with William Merritt Chase and Robert Blum, and to several different countries in 1888 following his marriage—which provided inspiration for a renewed style and subject matter. While in Spain with Chase and Blum, the three artists visited Madrid and Toledo; there, Vinton studied the masterfully tenebrous portraits of Velázquez, an influence that can be seen in Portrait with Yellow Shawl...
