About the Item

Oil on canvas sold with original frame Total size with frame 110x90 cm Charles Auguste Humbert, born in 1891 in Geneva and died in 1958, was a Swiss artist, mainly known for his work as a painter. He lived at a time when Swiss art was experiencing significant development, influenced by the European art movements of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Humbert studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Geneva, where he was trained in classical painting techniques. Over time, he developed a personal style that oscillated between realism and a more impressionistic approach. His works are often characterized by careful attention to detail and a restrained, harmonious color palette. He painted mainly landscapes, still lifes, and scenes of daily life, capturing the essence of Switzerland and its surroundings. His works reflect a deep sensitivity to light and atmosphere, paying homage to the natural beauty of his surroundings. Although less known than some of his contemporaries, Charles Auguste Humbert contributed to the richness of Geneva's artistic heritage. His works continue to be appreciated for their authenticity and their ability to evoke emotions through seemingly simple but deeply contemplative scenes.

A Young Girl Reading a Book, Pointillist Artist
Located in Stockholm, SE
"A Young Girl Reading a Book" is a captivating portrait by Swedish artist Gustaf Arnolds. Arnolds was a prolific painter whose roots began in Vingåker and later in Ronneby from his teenage years. His educational journey in art took him through prestigious institutions such as Althins målarskola and the Tallbergska grafikskolan in Stockholm, followed by a significant period at the Konstakademien, Stockholm, between 1904 and 1909. His talent and dedication were recognized early on, earning him a scholarship to Paris, a city that would deeply influence his artistic direction. This particular work, likely painted shortly after his return to Sweden, reveals a profound influence from his time in Paris. It portrays a young girl absorbed in reading a book, a simple yet profound subject that Arnolds imbues with a sense of tranquility and introspection. The background hints at a serene landscape, dotted with quaint houses, a nod to the everyday beauty surrounding us. What sets this piece apart is Arnolds’ technique, reminiscent of pointillism but distinguished by longer, more expressive brush strokes that add a vibrant texture and depth to the canvas. This method showcases Arnolds' unique adaptation of the techniques he encountered during his Parisian studies, particularly during his interactions with Nils Dardel...
