William-Adolphe Bouguereau 1825-1905 French Enfant sur un monstre marin (Child on a Sea Monster) Signed “W.B.” (lower right) Oil on panel Captivating on its oval-shaped panel, William-Adolphe Bouguereau’s Enfant sur un monstre marin offers a charming mythological scene. A winged putto rests upon a sea monster with the head and hooves of a ram and the body of a serpentine fish. The gilded background above the rippling water creates an iconic quality to the image that harkens to the glory of art history. Hailing from a foundational moment in the artist’s illustrious career, the composition is a testament to Bouguereau’s adaptability as an artist and his unparalleled skill in rendering mythological subjects. Enfant sur un monstre marin is further distinguished by prestigious provenance, originally created for the private Parisian residence of Émile and Isaac Pereire. The brothers were celebrated bankers and businessmen of the Second Empire, and remain dominant figures in the history of French finance...

Henri Lebasque 1865-1937 French Jeune fille cousant Young Woman Sewing Oil on paper on panel Signed “Lebasque” (bottom right) In this effusive oil on paper, Henri Lebasque captures a quiet, contemplative scene of a young girl sewing. Her eyes intently trained on the piece of white fabric in front of her, the artist makes the scene come alive with vibrant hues of orange, red and purple. The subject and her surroundings are rendered in loose, stylized brushstrokes that imbue the work with energy and vitality. Often called the “painter of joy and light,” Lebasque’s talent for creating bright, airy canvases is on magnificent display here. Henri Lebasque is remembered as a remarkable Post-Impressionist painter. Rooting himself in the Parisian art scene in the early 20th century, he exhibited in the influential Salon des Indépendants alongside artists like Georges Seurat, Paul Cézanne, Edouard Vuillard and Pierre Bonnard. He then went on to found the Salon d’Automne with Henri Matisse and other artist friends. His friendships with these artists and his visits to the south of France, initially encouraged by fellow painter Henri Manguin...

Jean-Gabriel Domergue 1889-1962 French Josianna, jeune femme au ruban (Josianna, Young Woman With Ribbon) Signed "Jean Gabriel Domergue" (lower left) Oil on panel A young French beauty known as Josianna is the subject of this work by Jean-Gabriel Domergue, and the oil on panel is a perfect example of the portraits for which the artist is renowned. His model embodies the concept of the la belle Parisienne: slender, swan-like women bearing an unmistakable grace and style. Domergue includes a delicate pink ribbon around her neck, suggesting a fashionable garment, set against a soft pastel-colored backdrop. The artist's oeuvre encompasses women from all facets of society, from aristocratic figures such as Liane de Pougy and Nadine, Baroness de Rothschild...
