About the Item

Playing Cherubim French School, circa 1900 oil painting on canvas laid down on panel within oyster shell scrolled gilt frame overall measurements: 23 x 40 inches provenance: private collection, the South of France A very beautiful and original antique painting, depicting these playful cherubim. The work is typical of the French Rococo style that emerged during the 18th century by artists such as Fragonard and Francois Boucher. Presented in this highly ornate scrolled gilt frame, with oyster shell mouldings to the cornices, the shape of the frame would have been designed to fit over a doorway and it was indeed hung in this position by the former owner from whom we acquired the painting. One of our photos shows the painting in its former home, a magnificent 16th century chateau in the South of France. Condition report: The painting is in very presentable condition. The frame has a former former repairs but is very elegant and presentable.

19th Century genre oil painting of cherubs with flowers
By Charles Augustus Henry Lutyens
Located in Nr Broadway, Worcestershire
Charles Augustus Henry Lutyens British, (1829-1915) Cherubs with Flower Garlands Oil on canvas, signed Image size: 19.5 inches x 29.25 inches Size including frame: 25.5 inches x 35.25 inches A beautiful painting of three cherubs or putti with flower garlands by Charles Augustus Henry Lutyens. The winged infants are shown holding rose blooms as they rest on a cloud. Charles Augustus Henry Lutyens was born in 1829 the son of Charles Lutyens, who was the Deputy Commissary General of the Forces and Frances Jane Fludger. With his family connection to the military it was no surprise that he joined the army in 1848 as Ensign, serving in the 20th Foot Regiment in Montreal, Canada. Whilst there, he met Mary Teresa Gallwey, daughter of Major Gallwey of Ireland and sister of Thomas Gallwey, the Governor of Montreal. They married on 28 November, 1852 and the couple went on to have 14 children in total. He returned to England having been promoted to Captain and lived in Hampshire where was appointed Instructor of Musketry to the regiment. He retired from the army in 1855, moving to London in the same year where he lived at 4 Allen Terrace, Kensington. He began pursuing an artistic career and most likely took art and sculpture lessons as well as studying animal anatomy. He made his debut at the British Institution from 1860 and by 1861 was living at 6 Palace Garden Terraces in Kensington. In 1862, he began exhibiting at the Royal Academy, where he continued to exhibit regularly until 1903. He initially painted portraits but then developed his subjects to include animals, usually horses and hunting scenes. Many of the people in his paintings were notable horse owners such as King Edward and the Duke of Westminster as well as military figures. He is known to have sculpted clay models of animals which he used during his creative process. He also produced a number of scenes with cherubs which he became well known for. By 1865, he had moved to 16 Onslow Square...

18th Century Painting of Cherub/Putti
Located in Pasadena, CA
This is a charming painting of a cherub with an arm extending forward, perhaps hold out a bouquet of flowers. The painting dates to the mid-18th century and is probably cut from a larger painting. The putti is well-framed in a French a gold leafed neoclassical-style. Considering the quality of this painting, and although not signed, the painting was most probably painted by a recognized Italian 18th century artist.
