About the Item

This superb Portrait oil painting is by noted Italian born artist Pilade Bertieri. Painted circa 1910, Bertieri had a London address in 1908 and exhibited five pictures at the Royal Academy between 1908 and 1918. Among his sitters were the Duke of Newcastle and the Countess of Bradford. There is no doubt that Bertieri must have seen and been influenced by the work of John Singer Sargent, Sir John Lavery, Sir James Jebusa Shannon, Charles Wellington Furse and Sir William Orpen. The sitter is Emily Gertrude Lilias Muirhead, wife of Arthur Lewis Gould, grandmother of Gillian Kulane Tanner, whose portrait we also had and who was awarded a George Medal for bravery in world war II. She was also mother to Rear Admiral Gerald Charles Muirhead Gould (1889-1945). This is a beautiful flowing Edwardian half length seated portrait of Emily Muirhead in her finery. She is wearing an off the shoulder dress with lace along the V neck. Her short wavy hair shows off her beautiful long neck and black gem stone earings. her hands, folded in her lap show off her rings and atest to her status and wealth. The brushwork and detail in her face are superb and really remind one of Singer Sargent. It is a fine example of an Edwardian portrait painting and an excellent example of Bertieri's work. Signed top left. Provenance. Family estate. Condition. Oil on canvas, image size 36 inches by 28 inches. Good clean condition. Frame. Housed in a complementary frame, 41 inches by 33 inches and in good condition. Pilade Bertieri (1874-1965). Bertieri was born in Turin and exhibited in major cities in Italy, New York and notably Manchester and Liverpool as well as Paris at the Salon from 1907 – 1931. His works are in the Walker art gallery in Liverpool and in the Museu Civico, Turin. Bertieri studied at The Royal Academies of Art at Turin and Bergamo and became a highly successful Italian society portrait painter. He had a London address in 1908 and exhibited five pictures at the Royal Academy between 1908 and 1918. Among his sitters were the Duke of Newcastle and the Countess of Bradford. There is no doubt that Bertieri must have seen and been influenced by the work of John Singer Sargent, Sir John Lavery, Sir James Jebusa Shannon, Charles Wellington Furse and Sir William Orpen.

Portrait of Mrs Bury Barry - British Edwardian art oil painting
Located in London, GB
This striking British Edwardian oval portrait oil painting is by noted artist Maurice Greiffenhagen. Painted circa 1901 the sitter is Mrs Bury Barry from a landed gentry family. It is a half length portrait which combines Greiffenhagen's skill as a portraitist and his tendencies towards theatricality and romance, in part effectively conveyed by the dramatic lighting, which highlights the sitter's skin revealed by the low neckline of her dress, and the rose which she holds to her chest and which matches the red of her blushing cheeks. The brushwork, detail and colouring are superb. This is a lovely British Edwardian portrait and an excellent example of Greiffenhagen's work. Signed and inscribed 'MAURICE GREIFFENHAGEN / 2 LONDON RD N.W. / [PORTR]AIT OF MRS BURY BARRY' on the upper stretcher bar, Provenance. With the Art Exhibitions Bureau, London, label verso.
