About the Item
This luminous and finely executed painting by August Hagborg captures three nude women preparing to bathe at the edge of a still, tree-lined body of water. One figure is seated on a rock in the foreground, calmly observing the water; another adjusts her hair or headscarf, while the third gently wades into the lake. The atmosphere is tranquil and intimate, imbued with a soft light that reflects Hagborg’s masterful handling of tone and texture.
The setting is ambiguous—it could just as well be a Nordic lake as a quiet French inlet. This uncertainty aligns with Hagborg’s career, which bridged both Swedish and French artistic circles. He spent most of his professional life in France but frequently returned to Sweden during the summers. Many of his works were inspired by the coasts of Normandy, Brittany, and southern Sweden.
This painting may correspond to a work exhibited posthumously at the 1926 memorial exhibition at the Swedish-French Art Gallery, where a canvas titled Bretagneflickor vid stranden ("Breton Girls by the Shore", cat. no. 11) was shown. The present composition matches that title in mood and motif, though no firm identification has yet been made.
August Hagborg studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm and settled in Paris in the 1870s. He became a celebrated painter of coastal scenes and genre subjects, frequently exhibiting at the Paris Salon. His breakthrough came in 1879 with Low Tide at the English Channel, a painting awarded a third-class medal and later acquired by the Musée du Luxembourg (now in the Musée d'Orsay). Hagborg’s work is today held in major collections including the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, the Gothenburg Museum of Art, and the Musée d’Orsay in Paris.

Provenance:
Olivier Bertrand (expert on the painter) has confirmed the authenticity of this work
Georges Lemmen was the son of an architect and studied under Amédée Bourson at the academy in St Joost-ten-Node. He was invited in 1889 to join the Group of Twenty ( Cercle des XX) which had been launched in 1884 by Oscar Maus and had in the interim emerged as an influential force in Belgian artistic circles, not least by bringing to public and critical attention the work of such artists as Georges Seurat and Paul Signac. The Cercle des XX would be reborn in 1894 as La Libre Esthétique.
In the early days of the Cercle des XX, Lemmen espoused a pointilliste technique. His earlier painting was clearly influenced by the Neo-Impressionists; over time, however, his style became more subtle and nuanced - recalling, perhaps, that of his compatriot Van Rysselberghe, another Cercle des XX member. With the group's rebirth as the Libre Esthétique, Lemmen's work became more intimiste in character, most notably in his portraits, nudes and still-lifes, where the influence of Bonnard and Vuillard is unmistakable, as is that of Renoir, particularly after Lemmen's travels in the Midi in 1911. From this point onwards, he would go on to make a major contribution to the renewal of the graphic and decorative arts in terms of his input to the new 'free' aesthetic and to Art Nouveau. Although his draughtsmanship retained its essential purity and elegance of line, his painting became more fleshy, imprecise and sensual, his compositions governed less by technical considerations than by the urgent need to express his emotions.
Between 1889 and 1893, Lemmen exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants in Paris, aligning himself with the Neo-Impressionists. In 1893, Henry van de Velde invited him to participate in the Pour l'Art association that had been created in Antwerp. He travelled to the south of France in 1911. By this juncture, he had already exhibited solo on two occasions (in 1906 and 1908) at the Galerie Druet in Paris. A further solo exhibition in 1913, his first in Brussels, cemented Lemmen's reputation.
