About the Item

'The Feather Boa,' a large oil painting of Miss Crofton by Herbert Sidney British, 1901 Frame: height 193cm, width 115cm, depth 6cm Canvas: height 143, width 77cm, depth 3cm By the British artist Herbert Sidney, (1858-1923), this remarkable full length portrait also titled 'The Feather Boa,' depicts Miss Alice Addison Crofton, a graceful young aristocratic lady, and was painted in 1901. So titled on account of the large, extensive draping feather coil that snakes around her, she sits on a marble garden throne, with a palm tree like background in a decidedly classicizing manner, typical of the late Victorian period. Executed in oil-on-canvas, and set within a carved giltwood frame, signed and dated lower right 'Herbert Sidney / 1901', inscribed with title to the reverse.

Located in Woodbury, CT
Wonderful French period copy of the famous painting by Jean-Baptiste Édouard Detaille, which the original is now in a museum in Paris.

The piece was re-framed in the 1990s In 35 years of dealing in paintings, I have never seen another example of this scene, it is very rare.! History of the scene: In the Siege of Hüningen (27 November 1796 – 1 February 1797), the Austrians captured the city from the French. Hüningen is in the present-day Department of Haut-Rhin, France.

During the time of this siege, the village was part of the Canton of Basel City and the fortress lay in an area contested between the German states and the First French Republic. The siege occurred within the French Revolutionary Wars during which Revolutionary France ranged...
