About the Item

Le Resesquement a l'Advocats (The Legal Reservation) Pastel on paper, c. 1910 signed lower right Image size: 10 3/4 x 14 inches Frame size: 23-1/2 x 26-1/2 x 2-3/8 inches Condition: Good Acid burn to the paper outside of the image from previous framing 22K Gold Leaf frame, natural silk matting and 22K gold fillet with archival framing materials. Glazed with conservation glass Provenance: Bernheim Jeune et Cie, Paris (label, see photo) Private Collection, Buenos Aires References And Exhibitions: Exhibited: Argentina, 1910: "Exposition Internationale du Centenaire a Buenos Aires," Catalogue No. 253 (label, see photo). Note: The Musee D’Orsay (see photo) has a very similar oil painting, "Scene de tribunal", of an elegant woman and lawyer. In the Musee D’Orsay painting the figures are reversed from the current composition. The central female subject wears the same hat as in this example. The Tate Museum has a legal subject matter painting by Forain entitled "Counsel and Accused", dated 1908. In the detailed provenance, the first owner of the painting was Bernheim Jeune & Cie, acquired from the artist. (Tate accession N04789) “From 1900, his palette was also enriched with pathetic courtrooms where, following Daumier, he protested against human injustices. His style becomes even more incisive and the clarity of his impressionist works is replaced by chiaroscuro.”
