About the Item

Dorothea Sharp 1874-1955 British A Day on the Beach Signed "Dorothea Sharp" (lower left) Oil on canvas British painter Dorothea Sharp captures the joyful spirit of childhood in this enchanting seaside scene. The work, entitled A Day on the Beach, is part of an important series by the artist, which follows a group of children along the beach. In the foreground, an older child helps a young girl don her sweater to find comfort in the blustery breeze. Delightfully observed and rendered in the impressionist style, it embodies the distinctive output from Sharp, an artist who is counted among the most popular painters of the modern British era. Sharp was particularly renowned for her paintings of women and children, and this idyllic scene is an exceptional example of the genre. Her young subjects embody the carefree innocence of youth as they enjoys the sandy seaside, while Sharp's spontaneous, energetic brushstrokes add to the vitality of the scene. Cheerful yet nostalgic, Sharp's touching oil on canvas epitomizes her inimitable ability to capture the gleeful joy of children along the shore. Born in Kent in 1874, Sharp did not begin painting until the age of 21. After inheriting a small sum from an uncle, she enrolled first at the Richmond art school, and then at Regent Street Polytechnic. She studied for a short time in Paris, where she first discovered the work of Claude Monet and the Impressionists; the encounter would greatly influence her style for the rest of her life. She exhibited for the first time at the Royal Academy in 1901 and exhibited there often until a few years before her death. She held her first one-woman show at the Connell Gallery in 1933; the exhibition was such a success that she was lauded as "one of England’s greatest living woman painters" by The Artist editor Harold Sawkins. Today her works continue to enjoy a universal appeal for their charming portrayals of children at play.

By Hughes Claude Pissarro

Located in New Orleans, LA

Hugues Claude Pissarro b.1935 French Dimanche au champ de course (Deauville) (Sunday at the Racetrack) Signed “H. Claude Pissarro” (lower left) Pastel on card French artist Hugues Claude Pissarro offers a unique perspective of the racetrack in Deauville in this exceptional pastel. The spectators are as much his subject as the sport in this artistic tribute to a leisurely Sunday at the tracks. Following the impressionist tradition of his father and grandfather before him, Pissarro infuses this pastel with dynamic light and vibrant colors. Entitled Dimanche au Champ de Course (Deauville), it showcases the artist's highly distinctive and sophisticated style. Hailing from a long lineage of painters, Pissarro's artistic talents were cultivated at an early age. He exhibited his first works at the young age of 14 and later studied in Paris at the École du Louvre and École Normale Supérieure. A 1959 White House commission to paint the portrait of President...

Dance of the Nymphs

By Paul Desire Trouillebert

Located in New Orleans, LA

This lyrical landscape entitled Dance of the Nymphs was composed by the French Barbizon painter Paul Désiré Trouillebert. A joyful scene of nymphs dancing the morning fog, the work closely resembles an important work by the great Camille Corot, which is now housed at the Musée d'Orsay (Paris). Renowned for his unique individuality that toed the line between the traditional and modern, Corot and his landscapes helped pave the way for an entire generation of Impressionists who followed him. Trouillebert perfectly captures the poetic atmosphere of Corot’s groundbreaking works, while also imbuing this scene with a freshness and character that is all his own. Trouillebert's oil on canvas is exemplary of the tradition of historical painting. The work perfectly combines a realistic depiction of the natural world with a spirited romanticism as his idealized nymph figures frolic playfully beneath a crisp morning sky. As a whole, it is a lovely composition executed with a level of skill and artistry that proves Trouillebert's exceptional talent in the arts. Born in Paris in 1831, Paul Désiré Trouillebert was a student of the academic painters Ernest Hébert...

Signed, inscribed and dated "R. Pinatel / Taroudant / 1926" (lower right) Oil on panel A stunning ode to the Moroccan landscape, this oil on panel was composed by the French Orientalist painter Raphaël Pinatel, whose lively works adeptly translated the romanticism of the East for a Western audience. The present work, which captures a market in Taroudant, a city in southeastern Morocco, exemplifies the artist’s distinctive approach as he brilliantly translates the energy and atmosphere of the desert city. Pinatel’s style is impressionistic in his brushwork and handling of light and atmosphere. In the present work, he brilliantly captures the effects of the direct desert sun...

Le carnaval du sage by René Magritte

By René Magritte

Located in New Orleans, LA

René Magritte 1898-1967 Belgian Le carnaval du sage (The Sage’s Carnival) Signed “Magritte” (lower right); titled and dated "Le carnaval du sage 1947" (en verso) Oil on canvas The enigmatic paintings of René Magritte have become some of the most familiar and celebrated of the Surrealist movement. Among the most influential of the Surrealist painters of the 20th century, Magritte is an artist of international renown, as beloved for his popular appeal as he is for the psychological intensity of his works. The present oil on canvas, entitled Le carnaval du sage, was executed in 1947 at the height of his career, and it is a tour-de-force example of the haunting, mysterious scenes that comprise his oeuvre. Painted in the years following the Second World War, Le carnaval du sage showcases several recurring themes from Magritte’s oeuvre. Chiefly, a juxtaposition between the visible and the hidden is keenly felt. Throughout his career, Magritte explores the psychological obsession with revealing what is hidden, particularly with regard to the human face. In his Le fils de l’homme, he obscures the face of a man in a bowler hat with an apple, while his Les amants (Metropolitan Museum of Art) conceals the faces of two lovers with white sheets. In Le carnaval du sage, Magritte juxtaposes the blatant nudity of his central figure by masking her face, simultaneously revealing and concealing her from the viewer. The work also incorporates two of Magritte’s most common tropes – the glass of water and the baguette. Lending the scene a strange sense of domesticity, they appear infinitely familiar and distinctly out of place, and thus heighten the uncanny effect of Magritte’s composition. In the background hovers a ghost obscured by a sheet, a figure which was of particular fascination to Magritte beginning in 1946. He once wrote to his fellow Surrealist Paul Nougé: "I saw in a dream an answer to the problem of the ghost: the traditional ghost draped...
