About the Item
Signed and titled oil on panel figures in landscape by American painter Anne Estelle Rice. This beautiful and colourful piece depicts groups of elegantly dressed people enjoying tea at the Chateau de Madrid on a bright and sunny summer's day. The Chateau de Madrid is located in the Bois de Boulogne to the east of Paris. It was regarded as perhaps the best and finest restaurant and summer resort of Paris in the 1920's and 1920's. A favourite rendezvous of Americans in Paris and Parisian society, its allure was because you could dine and dance outdoors under the trees in the cool night air at the height of the Paris social season. The old Chateau was demolished around 1860 and the 'new’ Chateau was built in 1910 in the style of the old chateau most likely incorporating the surviving out-buildings and was thought to represent a latter day effort to repair a great artistic wrong in the demolishing of the old Chateau. It was designed from the outset as a hotel with 160 rooms and a restaurant of the more expensive kind and was under the management of M. Bonfils. It also had extensive gardens and riding stables and horse riding and taking tea in the late afternoon became a popular pastime where there was a dance floor and live music.

Provenance:
Hollis Taggart Galleries - New York (Inventory Number 5398)
Born in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania in 1877, In 1894, she enrolled in the School of Industrial Art of the Pennsylvania Museum and studied there for three years. The school awarded her the second place Crozer prize for work in sculpture and modeling. In 1899 and 1902 Rice studied sculpture and life drawing with Charles Grafly and William Merritt Chase, respectively, at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.
In 1905 Rice was sent to Paris by Philadelphia’s North American to illustrate the latest fashions. She met the Scottish painter John Fergusson during the summer of 1907 at Paris-Plage, a resort, and Fergusson encouraged her to become a painter.
Between 1900 and 1912 Rice frequently painted the nude. Her nudes have an exotic character and reflect the impact of Les Ballets Russes’ romantic productions, which most of the modernists in Paris attended. Her drawing Schéhérazade (1911) was inspired by the ballet of that name and echoed its repetitive circular drive. The thin and sketchy paint application, vibrant palette, and decorative nuances constitute a direct homage to Matisse. For her harmonious, angular shapes in The Egyptian Dancers (1910), she was heralded in the American press as the leader of a new school of art. Critic Huntly Carter extolled the painting as the only thing of importance done at the time from Les Ballets Russes.
Rice was one of the chief illustrators for the British periodical Rhythm, edited by John Middleton Murry and Michael Sadler from 1911 to 1913. She established a close bond with Katherine Mansfield, a writer and fellow contributor to Rhythm, and painted her portrait at Looe in Cornwall.
By the late 1910s, Rice had turned away from Cubism, which she considered a “joyless” way of working. She was intensely interested in the theater, often making theatrical costumes and sets the subjects of her drawings, and in the 1930s she designed the sets and costumes of several London operatic and dramatic productions. From the 1920s on Rice painted still lifes with warm, rich colors. She exhibited her still lifes at the Leicester Galleries and the Wildenstein Gallery in England. She kept up her visits to Brittany, and sold paintings to collectors in Holland, Denmark, France, and Germany.
Rice’s work is represented in numerous private collections in the United States and the United Kingdom, as well as in the following public collections: the University of Hull Art Collection, Hull, England; Te Papa Tongarewa Museum, Wellington, New Zealand; and the Government Art Collection, England.
