About the Item

Émile Bemindt was a French artist active between 1859 and 1872 and is best known for work in the style of the Rococo Revival: During the late nineteenth century, there was a renewed interest in the Rococo and artists created new paintings like this to reflect the sensual images by such artist as François Boucher and Jean-Honoré Fragonard. In the image, two musicians play instruments in a lush garden. The woman, dressed in elegant silks, plays a cittern, while the man plays a flute. Behind them, a white classical statue, which probably depicts the gods Aphrodite, Pan and Eros, indicates the romantic connotations of this duet. The garden in which they sit as well reflects the sensuality of the scene, with the garden growing wild and untamed like the love between the two figures. 12 x 8.88 inches, panel 16.75 x 13.5 inches, frame Signed lower left Label for J.O. Krumbholz Fine Arts, Milwaukee on reverse Framed in an antique wood moulding with gold finish fillet and lip Overall good condition; some yellowing to varnish; craqueleure throughout clothing and hat of male figure; small scratch with loss, lower right corner.

18th century diptych portraits man and woman American formal dress flower
By William Jennys
Located in Milwaukee, WI
The present pair of portraits would make an exceptional addition to any collection of early American art not only because they were painted by the notable William Jennys, but also because the sitters are members of notable and influential New England families. In addition, these pendants have impeccable provenance: they have never left ownership of the decedents of the Kimball family and this is the first time they have been available for purchase. David Kimball (1766-1848) and Nancy Stacy Kimball (1774-1844) were members of historic Massachusetts families. David Kimball is a sixth-generation decedent of Richard Kimball (d. 1675) and Ursula Scott (d. 1659), who emigrated from Rattlasden, Suffolk County, England to Watertown MA around 1634. The family then relocated in 1637 to Ipswich, the city with which the family is now most strongly identified, when Richard was appointed to be a wheelwright.[1] Nancy likewise had early New England ancestry, descended from Simon Stacy and Elizabeth Clark, who were married in London in 1620.[2] Nancy Stacy was the second wife of David Kimball, and the two were married in 1799. Given this, the present pendant portraits were likely completed shortly after the marriage. David had two children by his first wife Mary Morse, who died in September of 1798. David and Nancy would have nine additional children between 1801 and 1815.[3] Most notably, the couple were parents of the Boston politician and showman Moses Kimball (1809-1895).[2][3] Moses would found the Boston Museum, an early for-profit museum and theater opened in 1841 that resembled European curiosity cabinets: the museum displayed paintings of Thomas Scully and Charles Peale alongside Chinese artwork, stuffed animals, dwarves and mermaids. Alongside these exhibits, visitors could attend the theater which held performances by gymnasts and contortionists, followed by performances of Shakespeare and Dickens.[4] This museum set the model for the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, which when founded in 1870 held a similarly diverse collection and appealed to the interests of a diverse set of visitors.[5] Moreover, some Greek antiquities from Moses Kimball's museum were eventually given to the MFA and Moses donated approximately $5,000 to the MFA's endowment upon his death.[6][7] William Jennys (1774–1859), also known as J. William Jennys, is an important American primitive portrait...
