About the Item

In this exquisite original oil on canvas, French artist Guy Seradour portrays a young girl with a masterful and sympathetic eye. The subject’s youthful innocence and quiet grace are rendered in delicate detail, from the soft contours of her face to the gentle play of light and shadow across the composition. Seradour’s brushwork and nuanced use of color imbue the scene with a warm, inviting atmosphere, reflecting a timeless charm reminiscent of classical portraiture. The painting itself measures approximately 27.5 x 16 cm (10.8 x 6.3 inches). About the Artist Guy Seradour (1922–2007) was a distinguished French painter celebrated for his vivid landscapes and evocative portraits. He began his artistic journey early, holding his first exhibition at just 18 years old in 1940 at Galerie Romanet in Algiers. Over the following decades Seradour established himself in the French art scene, living and working in cultural hubs such as Paris, Cannes, and Deauville. In 1955, an exhibition of his work at the renowned Galerie Bernheim-Jeune in Paris earned rave reviews, cementing his reputation as a rising talent. Seradour became an active participant in major Parisian art salons – including the Salon d’Automne, Peintres Témoins de leur Temps, and the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts, among others – and his paintings were featured internationally, from Brussels and Tokyo to prestigious venues like the Hermitage Museum in Leningrad and the Pushkin Museum in Moscow. Seradour’s œuvre is marked by a balance of technical skill and emotional depth; early in his career he depicted both modest, somber scenes and refined portraits with equal mastery, endowing each work with sincerity and character. His paintings are known for their rich, harmonious colors and the unique expressiveness of his figures. In 1965, the Museum of Modern Art in Paris recognized Seradour’s talent by acquiring one of his works for its permanent collection, and he was later honored as a Chevalier (Knight) of the French Order of Arts and Letters. Today, Guy Seradour’s artworks can be found in museums and distinguished private collections worldwide, underscoring his enduring legacy. oil on canvas. unframed 27.5 × 16 cm (10.8 × 6.3 in) framed 38.5 × 27.5 cm (15.2 × 10.8 in) signature: Guy Seradour (lower area). frame: Classically styled, ornamented frame by A,Goude Paris.

A Young Woman With Her Dog by Victor Ravet
Located in Stockholm, SE
In this exquisite painting by Victor Ravet, we are transported to an elegant interior setting reminiscent of the grandeur of high-class homes. The focal point is a woman adorned in a shimmering pink gown, radiating grace and sophistication. Bathed in gentle light, her dress catches the glimmer, accentuating her beauty. She holds a treat for a dog in her hand, enticing the furry companion who stands on its hind legs in eager anticipation. The canine's eyes fixated on the delicious morsel, capturing a moment of playful interaction between the woman and her loyal companion. The scene takes on a narrative quality as the young woman's other hand delicately lifts a curtain, hinting at another room beyond. This subtle gesture adds depth to the composition, suggesting a world of hidden secrets and intriguing possibilities within the opulent surroundings. Victor Ravet took inspiration from the Dutch Golden Age painters of the 17th century, such as Vermeer, Jacob Ochtervelt, and Gerrit Dou. This homage to their style and subject matter pays tribute to the timeless allure of domestic scenes, capturing a slice of life in a bygone era. With meticulous attention to detail, Ravet masterfully recreates the textures and fabrics, immersing the viewer in the sumptuousness of the period. The soft play...
