19th Century [1880-1900]
About the Item
Was she a gift to the Sultan, deliciously bejeweled and enrobed in the finest embroidered silks? By this time, resigned to her fate, the once Christian Circassian girl would have been converted to Islam, given a fitting Muslim name and groomed for the harem with refined court manners, never again to reconnect with her family.
Such romanticism for the exotic worlds of Asia and the Near East fired the imaginations of 19th-century French painters. But this is an exquisite portrait, not the typical Orientalist genre work. It is intimate. Luscious in pale coral and turmeric tones, with a seraglio’s alluring detail, and set in a hand carved and gilded period frame.
Like its subject, the artist remains a mystery. There is only an intriguing symbol, a large “C” on the bottom left side of the painting. Acquired in Europe 30 years ago, this work was formerly owned by an appreciative owner who maintains homes in Paris, Utah, and Lafayette, California.

By Victor Gabriel Gilbert
Located in Missouri, MO
Early 20th Century Oil Painting by Victor Gilbert. Canvas dimensions 14.75 x 18 inches. Framed dimensions 22 x 25 inches.
Born Paris, France 1847; Died 1933
Victor Gilbert's natural ability as an artist was recognized early, but his family lacked the financial resources to send the young man to the École des Beaux-Arts. Rather than enrolling in the École, Gilbert was apprenticed to Eugene Adam as an artisan painter and decorator. His only formal education was evening classes with Pierre Levasseur at the École de la ville de Paris.
Perhaps it was his early immersion into la vie quotidienne that formed the basis for his later choices of subject matter for his art, that of the markets and streets of Paris.
Despite his lack of formal training, Gilbert's admissions to the Paris Salons of 1873 and 1874 were very well received by audiences and critics alike; at this time he was supported by the dealer Paul Martin, who was an important proponent of the Impressionist movement.
Gilbert emerged in the early 1880s as the primary Realist painter to record the French marketplace...
