French School, Portrait of an officer, 1915, wax crayon on paper

1915

About the Item

French School beginning of the 20th century Portrait of an officier, 1915 Wax crayon on paper signed "E Rousselet" and dated 1915 lower right 51.5 x 31.5 cm In quite good condition, some foxings througout the sheet. In its original mount (the back of which is damaged, see photograph please) : 70 x 53 cm, no frame The signature Rousselet doesn't fit with any known artist of the time and it's quite curious as this portrait testifies of a real talent, but 1915 saw of course many young talented men lost their lives at war. The influence of symbolism is quite evident in the technique and pose of the model, it's not just a standard portrait and it has a real power of evocation, just as if the model has just been portrayed by surprise and expressed this feeling by his enigmatic gaze.

  • 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. Lucien-Victor Guirand de Scévola ( 1871 – 1950) was a French painter. He was student of Fernand Cormon and Pierre Dupuis...
