Very well executed portrait of Jacob Dolson Cox. See the sitter’s biography below. Signed top right and dated 1881. Relined canvas, very good condition. The portrait is housed in a contemporary replica of a period frame. Overall framed measurements are 33.25 by 28.25 inches. Provenance: A East Hampton, Long Island collector. Biography George Peter Alexander Healy was born in Boston on July 15, 1813, the first of five children of William Healy, an Irish immigrant and captain of a merchant vessel, and his wife Mary Hicks. Healy showed an early artistic interest: by 1830 the self-taught painter had opened a portrait studio from which he hoped to help to support his family. Although commissions were at first sparse, young Healy received important encouragement from Thomas Sully (1783-1872)) who advised him to make painting his profession. His fortunes also improved in 1831 when Mrs. Harrison Gray Otis, a leader in Boston society, granted him permission to paint her portrait and recommended his talents to other potential patrons. In 1834 Healy went to France where he studied with Baron Antoine-Jean Gros (1771-1835). A year later he traveled through Italy, visiting museums and churches in the company of Lady and Sir Arthur Faulkner who soon provided his introduction to London society. It was in England that Healy met and, in 1839, married Louisa Phipps. The couple settled in Paris where Healy embarked upon the beginning of a long and happy marriage and thriving career. His diplomatic and affable demeanor, together with his obvious skill, brought him tremendous success throughout Europe and the United States. Prolific, as well as talented, he had by 1867 produced more than six hundred portraits. The constant stream of commissions included dignified, imposing portraits of such celebrated figures as Pope Pius IX and Queen Elizabeth of Romania, the latter of whom developed a warm friendship with Healy and his family. Although Healy, sometimes accompanied by his wife, traveled to the United States several times during the 1840s and early 1850s, it was not until 1856 that the entire family settled in America. They took up residence in the booming city of Chicago, which Healy used as a base for his work in Boston, Philadelphia, New Orleans, and other cities. During the Civil War years he often traveled to Washington to paint military figures and members of the President's cabinet. The family returned to Europe in 1867, but George Healy...

Signed "A Dovianne" in the lower left corner. A vibrant and highly detailed historical scene depicting a ceremonial procession of mounted figures crossing a grand city square in Geneva, richly adorned with festive banners and flags. The composition is animated by a rhythmic procession of elegantly dressed horsemen, accompanied by soldiers and attendants, creating a dynamic sense of movement and civic pageantry. At the center of the scene, a monumental statue anchors the composition, reinforcing the public and historical significance of the event. The surrounding architecture, carefully rendered, is decorated with numerous flags suggesting a moment of national celebration or official ceremony within the city. The artist demonstrates strong academic training in the rendering of figures, horses, and perspective. The palette is lively yet balanced, combining warm earth tones with vibrant reds, blues, and gold accents, while the softly illuminated sky provides atmospheric contrast. This work belongs to the tradition of 19th century European historical painting, with particular appeal for collectors interested in Swiss subjects, civic celebrations, and narrative compositions. défilé à genève painting, geneva parade painting, swiss historical painting, military parade oil painting, horsemen procession art, 19th century history painting, geneva city scene oil, swiss flags painting, ceremonial parade artwork, cavalry painting...

Artist: Francesc Domingo i Segura (Barcelona, 1893 – São Paulo, 1974) Title: Portrait of a Lady with Red Fan Technique: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 76 × 56 cm (29.9 × 22 in), unframed Signature: Signed lower left “F. Domingo” Estimated Date: ca. 1945–1955 Provenance: Private collection Condition Report: Homogeneous superficial craquelure across the surface, especially in the background; varnish possibly not original, with slight yellowing. No paint losses or visible dirt. Canvas stable and well-stretched. DESCRIPTION This female portrait depicts a distinguished woman dressed in a floral-patterned gown in green and pink tones, holding a red fan that provides contrast and character to the composition. The sitter, with a serene expression and a slightly melancholic gaze, is softly illuminated, highlighting the texture of her hair and the delicacy of her skin. The work exemplifies Francesc Domingo’s mature style, where his academic beginnings merge with a livelier palette and touches of modernity, particularly visible in the treatment of patterns. The pink background, with loose brushwork and an almost abstract texture, enhances the sitter’s presence. ARTIST BIOGRAPHY Francesc Domingo i Segura (Barcelona, 1893 – São Paulo, 1974) was one of the most versatile Catalan painters of the 20th century. Trained at the Escola Superior de Belles Oficis of the Mancomunitat, he began in the Noucentisme movement and later traveled to Paris, where he absorbed the influence of Cézanne, Cubism, and modern currents. In the 1930s, he cultivated social realism with scenes of Barcelona’s Paral·lel district and the working-class world. After the Spanish Civil War, he went into exile in Latin America, residing first in Buenos Aires and later in São Paulo, where he taught printmaking and co-founded the Grupo Bisonte. His work, with both European influences and local echoes, is represented in museums such as the MNAC and in international collections. SIMILAR ARTISTS For his focus on portraiture and the fusion of academicism and modernity, Francesc Domingo can be compared with: Ricardo Macarrón...

Seated Mercury (Hermes) — Grand Tour Life-Size Bronze Italian School (possibly Naples) Italy, Late 19th–Early 20th Century This commanding life-size Grand Tour bronze depicts Mercury (Hermes) seated in quiet repose upon a rock, rendered with classical authority and exceptional refinement. The youthful god’s finely modeled anatomy, serene, introspective expression, and distinctive winged sandals draw directly from the celebrated ancient prototype, creating a sculpture of enduring presence and balance. Fully restored and ready to place, the bronze presents beautifully for interior display or garden installation, where its patinated surface responds richly to natural light. The composition derives from the renowned Seated Mercury discovered on August 3, 1758, in the peristyle garden of the Villa dei Papiri at Herculaneum. The ancient original—now housed in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli—became a touchstone of classical taste and a must-see for Grand Tour travelers of the 18th and 19th centuries, admired for its harmony, restraint, and technical mastery. Cast in richly toned bronze and finished with a nuanced patina, this example exemplifies the Neapolitan tradition of Grand Tour bronzes, prized for archaeological fidelity and sculptural finesse. Its impressive scale and poised silhouette make it a significant focal point in both modern and classical settings—an object that bridges antiquity and the cultivated collecting culture of the Grand Tour.
