Small Paintings

Dimensions with frame: 57,9 x 50,2 x 4,3cm. Unsigned This charming 19th-century painting depicts a young child absorbed in the contemplation of a framed picture held closely before them. Seen largely from behind, the child’s softly illuminated figure and carefully arranged auburn curls emerge beautifully against the deep, warm background, while a loosely draped white garment adds a note of intimacy to the scene. The painting within the painting forms the narrative focus of the composition. Rendered in restrained, almost monochromatic tones, it appears to depict a small figure holding a lyre, contrasting with the warm flesh tones and rich coloring of the child in the foreground. This subtle mise en abyme gives the work an engaging and unusual character, inviting the viewer to share in the child’s curiosity and attentive observation. With its refined modelling, warm chiaroscuro and intimate subject, the work reflects the Romantic taste for scenes of childhood and private emotion. An elegant and engaging composition celebrating curiosity, contemplation and the fascination of images.

Artist Ignacio Gil Sala (1913–2003) Title Motherhood on the Beach of Ibiza Date c.1990 Medium Oil on canvas Dimensions 38 × 46 cm (14.97 × 18.12 in) Signature Signed “I. Gil Sala” in the lower right corner. Framing Unframed Condition Good condition. Canvas firm and well stretched with stable paint surface. Description Luminous Mediterranean scene by Spanish painter Ignacio Gil Sala depicting a mother holding her daughter on the rocky shore of Ibiza. The composition combines figure painting and coastal landscape through a vibrant, expressive brushstroke typical of late 20th-century Spanish post-Impressionism. The intense blues of the sea contrast with the warm tones of the rocks and figures, creating a bright and atmospheric Mediterranean setting.

Title: Mid Century French Abstract Line Drawing Twin Female Figures Ink on Paper Signed (initials) by Serge Guerin (b. 1916), French Black ink on paper, unframed Size: 19.75 (height) x 12.75 (width) inches Provenance: private collection, Paris, France Condition: good and sound, light handling to sheet and faint age toning consistent with age; deckled edges present Description: An elegant and meticulously balanced ink drawing by French modernist Serge Guerin, this mid-century composition captures two mirrored female forms rendered in flowing black lines. The symmetrical structure and interwoven contours create a sense of duality and rhythm, merging sensuality with abstraction. Guerin’s precise yet fluid style distils the human figure into an almost architectural motif, evoking both Surrealist automatism and the graphic minimalism associated with the post-war Ecole de Paris. The subtle interplay between curved and angular forms reveals the artist’s deep understanding of balance and design. Executed in crisp black ink on textured wove paper, the work exemplifies Guerin’s refined linear technique and meditative control. The paired figures may be read as symbols of harmony, reflection, or unity—an exploration of femininity abstracted into pure form. Signed with the artist’s monogram in the lower right, this drawing would suit collectors of modernist works on paper, mid-century line art, or minimalist figurative compositions. Keywords for collectors and interiors: French mid century abstract, modernist nude, twin figures, symmetrical line art, Ecole de Paris ink drawing...
