P Deltour (?), An artist and his models in the workshop, 1879, oil on canvas

1879

About the Item

P Deltour (?) French school of the 19th century The artist with his model and friend in his workshop Oil on canvas Signed "P Deltour" (?) and dated 1879 on the lower, an indistinct inscription on the lower left 61 x 50 cm In a modern frame : 69 x 58 cm Old and very important restorations in the left part, inpaintings and traces of a repaired large tear in the middle left part. It has been relined. The main sitter's face has been repainted and is no more original. The subject and the treatment in details of a painter interior are really charming and original. The main sitter, a painter is absorbed in the contemplation of his last creation, perhaps a portrait of the woman on its side, who seems to have been nude just the moment before..... while one of his friend shows no interest to what's happening around him. Unfortunately the condition of this painting is quite poor, the remaining untouched parts - mainly in the right part - are really well painted, it's a pity the left part had to be so rudely restored. It's still quite charming when seen from distance and has to be hung with a lighting adapted to give the best of this painting.

  • French Romantic School, 19th Century, Portrait of a man, oil on paper
    Located in Paris, FR
    French Romantic School, 19th Century Portrait of a man, a selfportrait ? oil on paper 17.5 x 12 cm oval Framed under glass : 43 x 34.5 cm This rather mysterious portrait is perhaps a self-portrait of the artist who painted it. This is suggested by the three-quarter pose and the gaze fixed on the viewer. What this man seems to be staring at is himself. Similarly, the model's appearance is reminiscent of the image of the romantic, bohemian, tortured artist. It's also very interesting that he used a range of dark colours to reinforce this idea of melancholy. It has been suggested that this small oil on paper is close to the art of François Bonvin (1817-1887) and Théodule Ribot...
