About the Item
French School of the 18th Century
Portrait of a gentleman
Pastel on paper
25 x 18 cm
Framed : 49 x 32 cm
The mounting of this work is marked "Attribué à Saint Aubin", which means that it is probably attributed to Gabriel Jacques de Saint-Aubin (1724-1780), whose pastel portraits are close in spirit and execution.
In the absence of documented proof, this type of attribution should be taken with great caution, but its quality is undeniable and does indeed suggest a good hand.
The 18th century was the age of the pastel portrait, and we find the characteristics that made it the preferred medium of the period: the lively, spirited character of a portrait in which the sitter seems to be caught in the act of speaking, as if turning his head towards the painter in the course of a conversation.

L V Guirand de Scevola (1871-1950) Portrait of a young woman, 1928, oval pastel
By Lucien-Victor Guirand de Scévola
Located in Paris, FR
Lucien-Victor Guirand de Scevola (1871-1950)
Portrait of a young woman
Pastel on paper
38 x 28 cm (oval)
Framed under glass in a vintage framing : 45 x 35 cm
A label on the back "1928 Portrait de femme Etude au pastel de Guirand de Scévola" (see photographs please)
This pastel study is of course not signed, as the label on the back of the frame gives its attribution to Guirand de Scévola and, equally interestingly, the date 1928, but in fact the artist's style and execution are immediately recognisable without the need for a signature.
This type of woman with a bun is typical of the models the artist loved. Her mysterious air recalls his Symbolist period, and pastel is hisr preferred medium because it lends itself to all the characteristics typical of his art.
