19th century French oil painting of a lady and a parrot by Semenowsky
French, 1891
Panel: Height 56cm, width 38cm
Frame: Height 68cm, width 49.5cm, width 3cm
This wonderful oil on panel is by the renowned Polish/Russian artist, Emile Eisman-Semenowsky (1857-1911), who built his career in Paris, gaining recognition for his refined portraits of upper-class women.
This enchanting painting captures a woman in a black silk gown, standing with her back to the viewer as she gazes towards a serene landscape. A soft blue and dusty pink sky bathes the scene in a tranquil glow. In the foreground, a blue fence and wooden arch, entwined with delicate pink flowers, frame the composition. An ornate birdcage hangs nearby, where her crested parrot sings to her.
Here, the contrast between the woman’s elegant evening attire and the rustic countryside suggests a deliberate harmony with her parrot—her black dress, pale skin, and striking red ribbon mirroring its distinctive colouring.
Housed in a giltwood frame, the painting is personally dedicated, signed, and dated in the lower left: ‘à mon bon ami Gaspard Jacquet / Paris 1891 / Eisman Semenowsky’.
With its soothing palette and elegant composition, this artwork would make a charming addition to a 19th-century art collection.

Émile Eisman-Semenowsky
Émile Eisman-Semenowsky was born in 1859 in Poland. He studied art outside Poland and in the early 1880’s moved to Paris where he became an assistant to the Belgian artist Jan Van Beers (1852–1927). Under Van Beers he started to produce portraits mostly of fashionable women, later specialising in romantic Oriental style portraits aimed at the Parisian middle class. He also painted genre and historical scenes. He exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts with works entitled 'Spring-Time' and 'After the Dance'. His paintings are highly popular and can be found in private and public art collections including the Manchester City Gallery.
