About the Item

18th century French portrait painting of a young girl sitting on a chair, the young girl is looking cheekily at the viewer, she is wearing a blue silk jacket with large buttons and a lace-trimmed dress. Apart from being a sweet image to look at, the present painting also has an interesting story to tell. It was once part of the collection of legendary art dealer Georges Wildenstein in Paris. Wildenstein was a French art dealer, connoisseur and art historian. As the Wildenstein gallery accurately summarises: " A born art historian, he initiated at Wildenstein a systematic program of research and publication as an adjunct to his business ventures. At the time, art history was not a well-defined discipline, but his almost singular focus on historical detail, buttressed by an ever-expanding library of sales and exhibition catalogs, general surveys of art history, monographs, periodicals, prints, photographs, clippings, and archival documents came to define a research methodology for the production of the celebrated Wildenstein catalogues raisonnés. He also launched an ambitious program of exhibitions that later generations would perpetuate. In so doing, he set an industry standard.". Our painting experienced a dramatic time as it was looted on January 15th 1943 from the collection of Wildenstein in Paris. Fortunately, it survived the war and its looting almost unscratched and was returned to France on October 22nd 1945 and restituted to Georges Wildenstein. We have several documents of this, which will be given to the buyer. We believe it to be by the hand of Jeanne Philiberte Ledoux, who was a student of Greuze. Ledoux (1767 – 12 October 1840) was a French painter. She was born in Paris and took lessons from Jean-Baptiste Greuze, whose influence is clearly visible in her works as in our painting. Her work was first seen in public in 1793, when she showed three paintings in the Salon: Painting at Rest, Little Girls at a Crossroads, and Concealed Love. She was a very talented artist and well-known for her miniatures and portraits. She also exhibited in the Paris Salons from 1793 to 1819, in which she was a frequent exhibitor. Only one work attributed to Ledoux is signed, and none are dated. The canvas measures ca. 47,5*38cms and with its antique frame 56 by 47,5cms.
