Armand Leleux is the younger brother of Adolphe Leleux, also a painter. A genre painter, portraitist and landscaper he is part of the 19th century realist school.
Like his brother, Armand Leleux painted genre scenes in a realist style. He also produced intimate paintings representing interiors in a Flemish or Dutch style. For example: "Young little girl with a cup of chocolate" (Museum of Fine Arts and Archaeology Joseph-Déchelette in Roanne) and "Interior of the kitchen of the castle of La Moustière" (Bertrand Museum of Châteauroux).
He exhibited regularly at the Salon i Paris from 1839. After studying with Ingres, he went to train in Rome where he married the Genevan Émilie Giraud, also a genre painter.
Armand Leleux is part of this first movement in the realist school which lets reality speak by itself not only by using an academic know-how to idealize the forms. Armand Leleux is not only a Parisian painter. He also resided regularly in Dardagny near Geneva where he received his friends, among whom, Camille Corot, Théophile Gautier and Eugène Sue. He is the author of a book "Souvenirs d'artiste".
Our painting represents a young girl with a feather duster, sitting in an armchair in a bourgeois interior. The maid is resting. This a true social and realist portrait of the condition of children in the 19th century and at the same time a painting of an interior in the Flemish or Dutch tradition. In the Revue des Deux Mondes, the art critic Victor Cherbuliez wrote about the 1876 Salon: "Few artists know how to paint an interior as well as M. Armand Leleux and make us take all their subjects seriously, even a Priest's Servant, who, feather duster in hand, lounges in an armchair."

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...

A Young Woman With Her Dog by Victor Ravet
Located in Stockholm, SE
In this exquisite painting by Victor Ravet, we are transported to an elegant interior setting reminiscent of the grandeur of high-class homes. The focal point is a woman adorned in a shimmering pink gown, radiating grace and sophistication. Bathed in gentle light, her dress catches the glimmer, accentuating her beauty.
She holds a treat for a dog in her hand, enticing the furry companion who stands on its hind legs in eager anticipation. The canine's eyes fixated on the delicious morsel, capturing a moment of playful interaction between the woman and her loyal companion.
The scene takes on a narrative quality as the young woman's other hand delicately lifts a curtain, hinting at another room beyond. This subtle gesture adds depth to the composition, suggesting a world of hidden secrets and intriguing possibilities within the opulent surroundings.
Victor Ravet took inspiration from the Dutch Golden Age painters of the 17th century, such as Vermeer, Jacob Ochtervelt, and Gerrit Dou. This homage to their style and subject matter pays tribute to the timeless allure of domestic scenes, capturing a slice of life in a bygone era.
With meticulous attention to detail, Ravet masterfully recreates the textures and fabrics, immersing the viewer in the sumptuousness of the period. The soft play...
