About the Item

Frantz CHARLET (Brussels BE, 1862 - Paris FR, 1928) "Self-portrait of the artist" 880 x 1200 mm Pastel on paper mounted on canvas Signed lower left 'f. Charlet' In its original (professionally restored) frame PROVENANCE: By descent into the family of the artist. EXHIBITED: Les XX & La Libre Esthétique, Association du Patrimoine Artistique, Brussels, 16 February until 31 March 2018. CONDITION: A small tear of approximately 7 cm in the lower left corner crossing the beginning of the signature, otherwise in excellent condition seen its size, age and fragile nature. NOTE: A student of Jean François Portaels at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels, and of Jean-Léon Gérôme, Jules Lefèbre and Carolus-Duran at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, Frantz Charlet became a founding member of the Brussels' avant-garde society Les XX ("Les Vingt") in 1883. Charlet was a close friend of amongst other Théo Van Rysselberghe, Paul Signac and James McNeill Whistler, with whom he travelled extensively during the 1880s, and is seen as one of the pioneers of impressionism in Belgium. Better at home in the realm of French impressionism, Charlet eventually settled in Paris where he was represented by the famous Galerie Georges Petit. Only recently identified as a self-portrait, the present pastel drawing shows the painter as a gentleman; in a mood between self-conscious and melancholic so typical of the fin-de-siècle. The mere size and quality of the present artwork make it a picture worthy of any museum. Although few portraits or photographs of the artist exist, a bronze bust of Frantz Charlet made by Jean Hérain in 1881, removes all doubts as to the identity of the figure. Charlet portrayed himself as a man of considerable status and does not reveal any clues about his profession as a painter. His artistic ideals, however, are easily distilled from the loose, purely impressionist style of drawing, so closely related to the French Impressionists.

Signed figurative pastel on canvas circa 1910 by French genre painter Pierre Carrier-Belleuse. The work depicts three ballerinas wearing white tutus, warming up in a studio. Carrier-Belleuse was a contemporary of Edgar Degas and they exhibited simultaneously at the major Salons in Paris. This classic example evokes the Belle Epoque period in french history and is superbly executed. Signature: Signed lower right Dimensions: Framed: 29"x24" Unframed: 26"x21" Provenance: Private French collection Pierre Carrier-Belleuse studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris under Alexandre Cabanel and the interior decorative artist Pierre Victor Galland. He started out as an oil painter and produced genre compositions, such as his Final Rendezvous. From 1885, however, he opted to work exclusively in pastel, producing a large number of sketches and portraits but always remaining faithful to his earlier genre compositions. Examples include Pierrot, Harlequin, Woman with Cat. The periodical Figaro Illustré published a large number of his sketches of dancers, a recurrent theme throughout his work. From 1875, Pierre Carrier-Belleuse exhibited frequently at the Paris Salon, receiving an honourable mention in 1887 and being awarded a silver medal at the Exposition Universelle of 1889.
