Portrait of a Young Woman with Vase, Oil on canvas, Early Dutch Genre Painting

About the Item

Oil on canvas Image size: 12 x 10 inches (30.5 x 25.5 cm) Period hand carved gilt frame This 17th century Dutch genre painting depicts a young woman holding a jug with a landscape leading on beyond. This composition goes back to a work by Adriaen van Werff, now in the Danish National Gallery in Copenhagen. The RKD database lists another version of Toussaint's work,  today in the possession of the Staatliches Museum Schwerin.   Toussaint Gelton Nothing is known with certainty about the place of birth and origins of Gelton. Though he was registered in the painters’ guild of Amsterdam from 1655 to 1661 and in that of The Hague from 1656 to 1661, his name suggests that he hailed from a French instead of a Dutch family. He was likely the son of Johannes Gelton and Adewina Weijn and the brother of merchant Arnoldus Gelton. Toussaint lived in Stockholm with Maria Dijckmans (daughter of The Hague painter Zacharias Dijckmans).

Ophelia, Victorian 19th Century Royal Academy Oil Painting
Located in London, GB
Oil on canvas, signed lower right Image size: 33 1/2 x 56 1/2 inches (85 x 143 cm) Original gilt frame Provenance With the artist's son, Millie Dow Stott Esq., until 1912. Artist's Studio Sale, Christies, November 1913. Private Collection Exhibitions London, Royal Academy, 1895, no. 679. Paris, Societe de la Nationale des Beaux-Arts, 1896, no. 1179. Berlin, VII Internationale Kunstausstellung 1897. no. 3533. Manchester, City of Manchester Art Gallery, 1912, no. 339. In the 1890s William Stott exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy, mainly highly decorative works with subjects derived from classical mythology and literature. This painting was Stott's 1895 entry to the Royal Academy and was subsequently exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1896 and then on to the Berlin, VII Internationale Kunstausstellung 1897. Shakespeare was a favourite source for Victorian painters, and the tragic romance of Ophelia, from Hamlet, was an especially popular subject, featuring regularly in the Royal Academy exhibitions. The most popular and iconic image of Ophelia's death was, and is to this day, John Everett Millais's 1851 painting showing the confused and tragic Ophelia floating downstream on her back in a state of mad ecstasy, arms raised in a gesture of inevitable submission. However, although Stott chose not to pastiche this image, it seems highly likely that he was prompted to take up this subject, which had almost become a 'rite of passage' among Victorian painters, by the fact that in 1894 Millais's Ophelia was presented to the National Gallery of British Art by Sir Henry Tate. It appears that Stott was much influenced by John William Waterhouse...
