About the Item
"Taking Tea" by Jan-Baptist Huysmans, an accomplished Orientalist painter of the 19th century, unveils a captivating world in his oil painting on panel. Born in 1826, Huysmans was renowned for his ability to intricately capture the nuances of diverse cultures, and this particular artwork stands as a testament to his mastery.
The signed painting, measuring 8.75" x 5.5" in its unframed state, showcases Huysmans' Orientalist fascination with the cultural richness of Algeria. The focal point of the composition is a gracefully portrayed Algerian woman, adorned in a resplendent red traditional dress. Huysmans' brushstrokes skillfully render the folds and textures of the garment, emphasizing the exquisite details that characterize the clothing of the region.
The woman, a central figure in the tableau, emanates elegance and pride, embodying the artist's deep respect for the subjects he depicted. Her jewelry, meticulously painted, adds a layer of opulence to the scene, underscoring Huysmans' commitment to capturing the intricacies of Algerian culture.
In the backdrop, the interior design unfolds with a unique blend of patterns and furnishings, characteristic of the 19th-century Orientalist style. Huysmans, inspired by the allure of the East, meticulously incorporates elements that transport viewers to a different time and place. The deliberate attention to detail in every aspect of the composition showcases the artist's dedication to creating a rich and immersive visual experience.
The framed size of 12" x 9" amplifies the impact of Huysmans' Orientalist masterpiece, inviting viewers to appreciate not only the technical brilliance but also the cultural narrative embedded within. The painting serves as a window into the artist's exploration of the exotic and the unfamiliar, a hallmark of the Orientalist movement that sought to capture the allure of distant lands and cultures.
Examining the work closely, the panel is only very slightly bowed, otherwise, the painting appears in good condition and is ready to hang. Under ultraviolet light, scattered retouching is revealed, notably in the upper right quadrant. The painting is signed "JB Huysmans" in the lower right. Its provenance traces back to Sotheby's London, New Bond Street.
"Taking Tea" by Jan-Baptist Huysmans stands as a timeless testament to the artist's ability to bridge worlds through art, inviting viewers to contemplate the intersection of cultures in a bygone era.

Pierre-Louis Bouchard
French, (1831-1889)
Une Bonne Tasse de Thé
Oil on canvas, signed
Image size: 23 inches x 13.75 inches
Size including frame: 35 inches x 25.75 inches
A lovely portrait of a young woman pouring a cup of tea, by Pierre Louis Bouchard. The woman is depicted wearing a green striped dress with a white apron, whilst on her head is a mob cap decorated with a red ribbon. She is shown standing before a table containing a porcelain tea service on a silver salver. She is painted with her head turned towards the viewer as she expertly pours the tea into a cup. The mode appears similar to others figures the artist painted and could well have been the same person.
Pierre Louis Bouchard was born Pierre-François Bouchard in Lyon on 2 May 1831 to Pierre Bouchard and Amelie Baron. In 1845, he began studying at the École des Beaux-Arts in Lyon where he was taught by Jean-Claude Bonnefond (1796-1860). He then moved to Paris where he became a pupil of Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824-1904) at the Ecole des beaux Arts. He also studied under Jean-Hippolyte Flandrin...
