About the Item

Octave GALLIAN (1855-1918) "Portrait of Elegant" , oil painting on canvas signed and dated 1895 lower right. Magnificent portrait depicting a young woman with deep dark eyes and raven hair elegantly attired in soft pink and an opulent white lace collar. Her porcelain-white complexion contrasts with the blackness of her beautiful eyes. In a modern frame of gray lacquered wood. The painting is in its original canvas and is in good condition: there are two very small spots of restoration in the background, otherwise it has never been touched. Restoration of the painting at our trusted workshop is included in the price. If the customer prefers to have it restored by their own restorer, a discount will be given. Measurements Canvas 47 x 38 cm Frame 63 x 54 cm Artist biography: Octave Gallian is the son of a Toulon industrialist from the Vaucluse. He spent his youth in Toulon in affluent surroundings, showing early gifts for the piano and violin, but it was painting that was his passion. He studied in Paris at the École des beaux-arts and the Académie Julian with Jules Lefebvre, Gustave Boulanger and Charles Ginoux. He established his studio in the Faubourg Saint-Honoré where he practiced the art of portraiture, especially of women, but returned often to the Provençal landscapes of his youth between Toulon and Martigues. He is a member of the Toulon Fine Arts Workshop. In 1887 he received an order for two decorative panels for the staircase of the Toulon Museum of Art (Provençal Fisherman and Vanneuse), which were destroyed in a bombing raid during World War II. Octave Gallian exhibited at the Salon of French Artists between 1878 and 1905. He received an honorable mention there in 1884 for Une bouée, rade de Toulon; this painting, No. 995 in the catalog, was purchased by the state, which donated it to the Musée de la Castre in Cannes. Abandoning the official Salon for a time, he attended that of the Société nationale des beaux-arts from 1891 to 1894. He also participated in the exhibitions of the Friends of the Arts in Toulon, notably in 1902 with Le Castellet and La Baie des Anges.
