About the Item

Circle of Léon Lhermitte (1844-1925) Meditation Oil on canvas 32 x 24 cm This painting depicts an old man seated on a chair, his hands clasped in his lap, his gaze lowered, pensive, even tired. To his left, a young woman sits on the floor, her head resting on her hand, gazing into space. The atmosphere is calm, melancholic, almost meditative. This figurative oil on canvas is similar to the naturalist tradition of the 19th century. The palette is sober, dominated by dark, earthy tones, with a subtle light concentrated on the faces and hands. This work can be placed in the circle of Léon Lhermitte (1844-1925), a French painter well known for his rural scenes, peasants, and domestic interiors. Lhermitte was admired for his ability to capture the simple dignity of ordinary people, which can easily be felt in this small, intimate painting.

The Letter, young lady in her boudoir 19th Century majestic miniature painting
Located in Norwich, GB
A majestic miniature painting by Victor Mongodin. Painted with extraordinary detail, it depicts a pretty young lady writing a letter in her boudoir. Mongodin clearly delights in painting fabrics... the silk of her skirt, the cotton of her camisole, as well as the luxurious velvets of the curtains and drapery. And then there is the mystery: who is she writing to? Born in Vire in Normandy in 1819, Victor Mongodin had studied with de Rudder. Working in the French Capital...
