About the Item

The artist: Henri Aime Duhem (1860-1941) French *see notes below, signed Title: The Pontoon Medium: gouache on paper, loosely laid over card, unframed card: 9.75 x 12.75 inches painting: 5 x 7 inches Provenance: private collection of this artists work held in the town of the artists birthplace, France Condition: The painting is in overall very good and sound condition. Henri Aimé Duhem (7 April 1860, Douai - 24 October 1941, Juan-les-Pins) was a French Impressionist painter. He was descended from an old Flemish family and originally practiced as a lawyer. In 1887, his passion for drawing and watercolors finally led him to go to Paris and enroll in the drawing classes of Henri Harpignies. While there, he became friends with Émile Breton, who introduced him to oil painting. At about that time, Demont-Breton moved to a small village named Wissant. Encouraged to follow, the Duhems established a home in Camiers and gathered their artist friends together to form what would be known as the "École de Wissant", some of the most notable members of which were Georges Maroniez, Francis Tattegrain and Fernand Stiévenart. In 1893, he fully abandoned his legal career to devote himself to art, both as a creator and an avid collector of work by his contemporaries. In the inter-war period, he remained artistically active, preparing a major show at the Salon des Tuileries in 1923, commuting between Douai and Paris, where he maintained a home in the Sixteenth Arrondissement. In 1932, he was named a Commander in the Légion d'honneur. Five years later, faced with declining health and the threat of war, he moved to Juan-les-Pins, where he lived at the villa "Mont Riant" until his death.

Oil Sketch of a French boat yard, with men in a wood saw pit in harbor landscape
By Jacques-Eugene Feyen
Located in Woodbury, CT
Excellent quality Oil Sketch of a French boat yard, with men in a wood, saw pit in a harbor landscape. The elder brother of painter Auguste Feyen-Perrin, Jacques-Eugène enrolled at the École des Beaux-Arts and studied under Paul Delaroche. He had a notable career at the Paris Salon from 1841 to 1882. Vincent van Gogh was a fan of Feyen and describes him as, "one of the few painters who pictures intimate modern life as it really is, and does not turn it into fashion plates." He set up a studio and settled in summer in the town of Cancale. He spent several months every year painting views of Cancale, the oyster-picking Cancalaises, and the bay of Mont Saint-Michel, and his paintings still enjoy steady fame. This sketch came from a collection of sketches...
