About the Item

Scholten (American, 1829-1886) A period and substantial oil portrait by J. Reid from a John Scholten photograph showing an elegantly-dressed young woman playing a classical guitar and gazing directly and with confidence towards the viewer. Viewed through a window across a stone balustrade, a Neoclassical landscape, with broad river and distant riverbank, rests beneath sunset clouds. J. Reid was a portrait painter active from the 1820's through the 1860's. John A. Scholten maintained photography studios in both St Louis and Cincinnati and was a much sought-after society portraitist and photographer of bridal parties and Civil War luminaries, including General George Armstrong Custer. By the 1840s, Scholten was working in St. Louis with a gallery and studio on 5th Street which he later removed to premises on Olive Street.

    Located in Santa Cruz, CA
    Signed lower left, 'Clement' for Gad Frederick Clement (Danish, 1867-1933) and painted circa 1920. Additionally signed, verso, and titled, 'Vesterby, Skagen'. Provenance: By descent through the family of the artist. Exhibited: Skagen Museum, circa 1920, from label, verso, on stretcher. 'Helsinki Art Gallery, 1928', from accompanying label (photocopy). 'Danish Art Convention Forum, 1929', from accompanying label (photocopy). A substantial, early 20th-century oil painting showing the artist, Martha 'Tupsy' Clement, painting in her garden with her daughters, Bitten (b.1912) and Lillemor (b.1909) beside her. Gad Clement painted this idyllic scene of his family, circa 1918, in the garden of their house near Vesterby beach on the island of Skagen, where he and Tupsy summered from 1908-1920. In this radiant work, Clement has accomplished an evocative fusion of the bonds of maternity and the dreamland of childhood, allowing the scintillating, decorative surface to become a vehicle for the profound psychological penetration of his character study. In an elegant fusing of the ideal and the personal, the artist has achieved a sublime level of emotional complexity. G.F. Clement, first studied at Copenhagen's Technical School (1883–85) before attending the Academie des Beaux Arts in Paris from 1885-1888. Returning to Denmark in 1888, he continued his studies under Laurits Tuxen...

Red in art history symbolises many things. First of all, it was a color of power, status and wealth. Another association of red is, of course, love and seduction. By contrast, the delicate white blossoms held gently in her hands, represent honesty, purity, and perfection. The symbolism continues, with the Marquise being adorned with pearls. Pearls are arguably one of the most commonly depicted jewellery in paintings...
