About the Item
A large scale 1950s French society portrait by Anne-Marie Joly. The painting is signed and dated bottom right. Presented in a magnificent carved wood and gesso Montparnasse frame.
A truly imposing and luxurious oil on canvas portrait of a society beauty. Joly has captured all the luxuriousness of the sitters sumptuous tulle dress and skirt, with its exquisite embroidered roses, billowing around her as she sits elegantly on a Louis XV silk covered sofa in a beautifully decorated salon. A true 'tour de force' very much of its time. The Dress suggests that it might possibly be a wedding portrait
Joly's style is very much to capture the character and 'feel' of the sitter and the setting with quick yet effective brushstrokes rather than super fine detail.
The sitter is as yet undiscovered but such a beautiful couture dress and surroundings suggests somebody of the 'beau monde' or aristocracy. It is very much in the tradition of paintings such as Giovanni Boldini's of Consuelo Vanderbilt, the duchess of Marlborough with her son Lord Ivor Spencer-Churchill, 1906 now in The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, or the paintings of Philip de László and John Singer Sargent.
Anne-Marie Joly studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts et Academies Libre in Paris. She enjoyed considerable success during her lifetime and exhibited extensively winning many prizes including the Salons Nationale des Beaux-Arts, Independants, Terres Latines, Automne, Peinture a l'Eau and the union of Female Artists and Sculptors of which she was also vice president. Her awards included the Grand prix de la Ville de Paris in 1960, the Grand Prix de l'Union des Femmes Peintres et Sculpteurs, Prix Charles Cottet and Prix du salon Nu.
Included with the painting is a catalogue from one of her exhibitions in 1963.

Large French Society Portrait, by repute, La Comtesse de Blacas, Château d'Ussé
Located in Cotignac, FR
Large scale French society portrait from the 1920s featuring a lady in a 'flapper' dress before a castle and it's garden by Georges Gaudy. Signed bottom left and dated, 1925. The painting is by repute of La Comtesse de Blacas, in front of her home Château d'Ussé. Ussé was the subject of a French railroad poster issued by the Chemin de Fer de Paris à Orléans in the 1920s which may have been designed by Gaudy and this may be where the commission for this painting came about.

Expressionist Female Nude Portrait, 'The Green Curtain' Oil on Canvas.
Located in Cotignac, FR
Expressionist female nude portrait by noted Scottish artist Douglas Thomson. The painting is signed bottom left and signed and titled to the back of the canvas. There is an original exhibition title and price label to the frame. Presented in original plain wood frame.
A colourful and striking portrait of a female nude. Her rich red hair falling over her shoulders, her pose calm as she stares out from the canvas in a wistful way, her mouth set. Thomson has created flesh tones, wonderful contrast of colours between the sitter and the background curtain and wall and a texture to the canvas to create added interest. A really interesting and engaging portrait.
Douglas Thomson was born in Greenock in 1955 and after studying at the Glasgow School of Art 1974...
