2023

This contemporary figurative oil painting depicting two women was created by French artist Natalya Mougenot. The artwork, titled I Will Always Stand by Your Side, presents a poignant and emotionally charged scene, capturing the intimate embrace of two women. The painting reflects the artist's roots and cultural background, establishing a profound spiritual connection with the women she portrays. The bond between the two women—whether sisters, friends, or a mother and daughter—is undeniably one of mutual reliance. They are each other’s rock and shelter, supporting one another in times of difficulty and challenge. The piece speaks to the strength one person offers another, particularly during challenging moments. Central to the work is the theme of womanhood, femininity, and the powerful spiritual connection between the artist and the women featured in her art. The piece also explores emotional transparency—qualities like strength, courage, determination, sensitivity, kindness, and authenticity—allowing for an intimate portrayal of the vulnerability and resilience shared between the figures. The two women are depicted with minimalistic detail, their connection highlighted through form and color rather than facial features. One woman is adorned in red, while the other is painted in blue, symbolizing contrasting yet complementary forces. The bold, expressive brushstrokes create a sense of immediacy, while the serene, muted teal background offers a calming atmosphere that envelops the embrace. The absence of discernible features on the figures directs the viewer’s focus to the embrace itself, making it the central emotional element of the painting. This anonymity invites viewers to project their own experiences and emotions onto the scene, creating a universal appeal. The harmonious interplay of warm and cool tones enhances the themes of connection and compassion, as the figures merge to form a unified whole. I Will Always Stand by Your Side is a powerful exploration of human connection, presented with a captivating simplicity that speaks volumes. The artist’s unique approach to color and form invites a deep emotional engagement, offering both beauty and meaning. The piece is created with oil paints on stretched linen canvas and is ready to hang. It is sold unframed, giving the buyer the freedom to frame it according to personal taste and interior style. The artwork will be carefully packed and shipped internationally from France, accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. Created in the artist’s Lyon...

An impressive and masterful depiction of a young woman with a fan. An American artist who studied and traveled in Europe and painted this painting before his return. It has its original frame which is magnificent. The frame has been regilded in th past 10 years. Vinton was abroad in the 1880s. The sitter gazes coyly over her fan in a gesture that ladies and gentleman of fin-de-siècle Europe would have understood to mean “wait for me,” and perhaps indicating her interest in a potential suitor. Vinton embarked on several trips to Europe—to Spain in 1882 with William Merritt Chase and Robert Blum, and to several different countries in 1888 following his marriage—which provided inspiration for a renewed style and subject matter. While in Spain with Chase and Blum, the three artists visited Madrid and Toledo; there, Vinton studied the masterfully tenebrous portraits of Velázquez, an influence that can be seen in Portrait with Yellow Shawl...
