About the Item

François MARTIN-KAVELParis, 1861 – 1931The Card GameOil on canvas51 x 62 cm (68 x 78.5 cm with frame)Signed lower left and dated lower right “Martin-Kavel / 1885”Beautiful early 20th century carved wood frame Good condition (with some thinness and three small restorations - see photo of the verso) François Martin-Kavel painted mainly portraits of women in interiors (“The Beautiful Gypsy”, “The Parasol”, “Young Woman with a Muff”, “The Surprised Coquette”). He exhibited his paintings at the Salon des Artistes Français between 1881 and 1931. Martin-Kavel was particularly collected in North America and appreciated for his very seductive female figures with a great finish. The painter also had a period in the 1880s during which he was attracted, like other academic painters, by Brittany. Our painting is dated 1885. It represents a game of cards by the fire in a Breton interior. In 1886, Martin Kavel exhibited an "Easter Eve" that could be our painting. A scene from rural life in Brittany shows a meticulous description — that is Martin-Kavel's style — of costumes and details that show Martin-Kavel's remarkable qualities as a naturalist painter!

An auction at Drouot's in Paris.
By René Francois Xavier Prinet
Located in Paris, FR
An auction at Drouot's in Paris. Oil on canvas. Signed lower right. Around 1900-1910. René François Xavier Prinet (31 December 1861, Vitry-le-François – 26 January 1946, Bourbonne-les-Bains) was a French painter and illustrator who drew his subjects from middle-class society. He was born to Henri Prinet, an Imperial Prosecutor in Vitry-le-François. A promotion led to him being posted in Paris, where they lived in a home not far from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts. His father painted as a hobby and was supportive of his desire to study art, having him seek the advice of Louis Charles Timbal [fr], a well-known church painter and friend of the family. Around 1880, he began his studies in earnest, in the studios of Jean-Léon Gérôme; remaining with him until 1885. That year, his painting "The Infant Jesus" was accepted for display at the Salon. This was followed by studies at the Académie Julian. At this time, he also became associated with a group of young artists known as the Bande Noire (Black Stripe), which included Lucien Simon, André Dauchez...
