Jules-Eugène Lenepveu (1819-1898) Portrait of a man in profile signed on the lower right Pencil and heightenings of white gouache on paper 19.5 x 13 cm Framed : 29 x 22.7 cm Jules-Eugène Lenepveu is of course particularly well known for his large-scale paintings, such as the one on the ceiling of the Paris Opera, but his work here is much more delicate and intimate. We recognise the artist's mastery of talent, but the play of textures, with its highlights of white that enliven and illuminate the model's face, is also very subtle. There's a particularly charming sense of life and impression of light. Jules-Eugène Lenepveu was born in Angers on 12 December 1819, on the site of the street that now bears his name, into a family of small shopkeepers. The painter showed a deep attachment to his family throughout his life through his correspondence and the many portraits of his relatives. He entered the drawing school in Angers in 1833, where he was a pupil of Jean-Michel Mercier. There he rubbed shoulders with the sculptor Ferdinand Taluet. He arrived in Paris in 1837 and entered the Beaux-Arts, where he was officially admitted to François-Édouard Picot's studio in 1838. He exhibited his work "L'Idylle" at the Salon of 1843 and, that same year, left for his first visit to Italy. He was awarded the Second Prix de Rome in 1843 for "Cincinnatus recevant les députés du Sénat" (Cincinnatus receiving the deputies of the Senate), then the First Prize in 1847 for "La Mort de Vitellius" (The Death of Vitellius). A resident at the Villa Médicis from 1848, he was surrounded by painters Alexandre Cabanel, Léon Benouville, Gustave Boulanger, Félix Barrias...

A bold 1940s graphite on paper WPA era mural study of a Chicago city scene by Rudolph Weisenborn. Artwork size: 12 1/2 x 9 1/4 inches. Archivally matted to 18 x 16 inches, Provenance: Estate of the artist. Rudolph Weisenborn was born in Strassburg, Germany in 1881, but was orphaned at the age of nine. He was taken-in by Mid-Western farmer Thomas Westaby and spent his early years in Wisconsin, Iowa and North Dakota. Weisenborn first attended the University of North Dakota in 1898, then the Students School of Art in Denver. Various accounts have him working out west as a gold miner and cowboy. Around 1912, he settled in Chicago and worked as a window designer for Marshall Field’s. Weisenborn is best known as the founder of the Chicago No-Jury Society of Artists. The group was founded because many artists could not get their work accepted into the mainstream Art Institute shows. Weisenborn is quoted as saying that he harbored feelings of disdain for any jury and that his own paintings were frequently rejected by conservative jurors. He was also involved and helped found other radical artist’s groups such as the Salon des Refuses, Cor Ardens and Neo-Arlimusic. In 1936, he helped found the New York-based American Abstract Artist’s Group. He created the only abstract mural for the 1933 Century of Progress Exhibition in Chicago and also worked for the Federal Arts Project in the Easel Division. His WPA murals can be found in Crane Technical High School and Nettlehorst Elementary School in Chicago, IL. In 1945, Chicago businessman Herman Spertus...

Spanish Modernist Female Figure Drawing, Catalan Post-Impressionist Pencil Work Elegant 1970s pencil drawing of a seated woman by Casimir Martínez Tarrassó, a Catalan artist connected to post-impressionism, fauvist color culture and Mediterranean modernism. Artist: Casimir Martínez Tarrassó Title: Seated Woman Medium: Pencil on paper Date: c.1975 Artwork dimensions: 31 × 21 cm / 12.20 × 8.27 in Framed dimensions: 47 × 37 cm / 18.50 × 14.57 in Frame: Included Condition: Good vintage condition Origin: Spain Style: Spanish Modernism, Catalan Post-Impressionism, Figurative Drawing DESCRIPTION This delicate pencil drawing by Casimir Martínez Tarrassó captures a seated female figure within an intimate interior scene, rendered with quick, expressive and confident graphite strokes. Rather than a finished academic study, the work has the immediacy of an artist’s private notebook: direct, nervous, elegant and full of movement. The seated woman appears surrounded by fragments of domestic space, giving the composition a quiet psychological atmosphere and a distinctly European studio feeling. Tarrassó’s line is loose but controlled, suggesting form through rhythm rather than detail. The drawing belongs to the refined tradition of modern works on paper, where the value lies not in decorative excess but in the visible intelligence of the hand. This piece will appeal especially to collectors of Spanish modern art, Catalan artists, female figure drawings, post-impressionist works on paper and intimate European modernist interiors. ARTIST BIOGRAPHY Casimir Martínez Tarrassó (Barcelona, 1900–1979) was a Catalan painter and draughtsman trained at La Llotja School in Barcelona. He later continued his artistic education in Paris, where he came into contact with the atmosphere of French modern painting and the fauvist movement. His work is closely associated with Mediterranean landscapes, still lifes and figurative compositions, combining Catalan pictorial tradition with the influence of French post-impressionism and modernism. He exhibited in Barcelona, Madrid, Palma de Mallorca and Bilbao, and received several distinctions, including the Pollença Prize in 1962 and the Santiago...

San Francisco moorings, a late 19th century double-sided pencil sketch by Raymond Dabb Yelland (American, 1848 - 1900), 1987. Signed "R.D. Yelland" lower right. Dated "87" lower left. Drawing on both sides of paper. Wood frame. Image size, 8.5"H x 12"L. A master marine painter, Yelland painted in Gloucester Harbor. He sailed to San Francisco in 1874 to take a teaching position in art at Mills College in Oakland. From 1877 to 1894, he taught at the California School of Design. He was a decisive influence on a younger generation of California artists. Full Bio: Raymond Dabb Yelland was born in London, England on February 2, 1848. At the age of three, he immigrated with his family to New York City where he was raised and attended public schools. By the age of twelve, he had settled on art as a career. He was born as Raymond Dabb, but due to the negative connotation of his name, his mother's maiden name, Yelland, was added. After serving under Sheridan in the Federal Army during the Civil War, Yelland attended Pennington Seminary in New Jersey. He studied art at the National Academy of Design from 1869 to 1871 with Page and Brevoort, and then taught at the Academy for one year. With his new bride, he sailed around the Horn in 1874 to San Francisco where he would assume the position of an art instructor at Mills College in Oakland. In 1877, he traveled to England, and later continued his studies in Paris with Luc Oliver Merson. Upon his return to California, Yelland became assistant director of the San Francisco School of Design, and in 1888, assumed its directorship. While at that school, he also taught at the University of California, Berkeley, for many years. His many pupils included Homer Davenport, Alexander Harrison...
