About the Item

Portrait of a Young Woman with Black Ribbon Signed Léopold Leprince in red at the right Robert-Léopold Leprince (Paris, 1800 - Chartres, 1847) France, c. 1825-1830 Oil on canvas, 16.5 x 21 cm (without frame); with 19th-century gilded wooden frame 28 x 33 cm Painted during the French Restoration period (c. 1825-1830), this small portrait reflects the fashions of the time: curled hair arranged with a large dark bow, a white muslin dress with puffed sleeves, and a blue sash. The sitter appears before a subdued but atmospheric background, with a grey-blue sky and faintly sketched hills, rendered with the eye of an artist trained above all as a landscape painter. The painting is signed Léopold Leprince in red at the right, identifying it as the work of Robert-Léopold Leprince, a member of an important family of artists. Son of the painter Anne-Pierre Leprince, he was the brother of Auguste-Xavier (1799-1826) and Gustave (1810-1837), all three devoted to landscape painting. Like the artistic dynasties of the previous century (Coypel, Van Loo, Vernet), the Leprince family exemplifies the transmission of painterly tradition in early 19th-century France. Leprince exhibited at the Paris Salon from 1822 to 1844, receiving a medal in 1824. Known primarily for landscapes and rural scenes painted en plein air in the forest of Fontainebleau and the countryside around Paris and Chartres, he occasionally turned to portraiture, as in the present canvas. His landscapes are today preserved in major institutions such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), the Fondation Custodia (Paris), the Louvre, and Versailles. The stretcher bears the stamp of Roch Petit, Passage de l'Opéra, a Parisian supplier active in the 1820s. This stamp links the work directly to the Parisian milieu in which Leprince himself worked, with an atelier in rue Childebert, before he eventually settled in Chartres. The combination of signature, period, and provenance situates this portrait firmly within his most active years, offering a rare example of his portraiture.

Portrait Of A Young Girl In A Lilac Dress With A Black Bow. Circa 1860. SIgned.
Located in Firenze, IT
Portrait of a young girl in a lilac dress with a black bow. Circa 1860. Signature below right, partially visible. Size with frame 59cm x 49cm Size without frame 33cm x 24cm The portrait depicts a young girl with an elegant hairstyle, her hair carefully tied back. Dressed in the fashion of the 1860s, her light lilac dress reflects the synthetic aniline colors, a novelty in fashion at the time. A black bow at the neck and slightly black straps accentuate her attire. Represented at mid-length, with a mysterious and melancholic gaze, suggesting a mourning endured over a year ago. The portrait, executed in pastels, chalks, and charcoals on paper, highlights the mastery and speed of the artist's execution. Framed in a vintage oval frame...

Ca. 1820 Portrait of a Woman with Kashmir shawl.
Located in Firenze, IT
Ca. 1820 Portrait of a Woman. Léon Cogniet (1794-1880, Paris), attributed. French school of 19th century. Tecnicque: oils on canvas. Dimensions: 70cm x 61cm 20th century wooden frame. Old attribution to Léon Cogniet (1794-1880, Paris) is inscribed on the wooden frame. Portrait of the restoration period, post Napoleonic wars. Stylistically the painting is found in the transition period from the late Empire period to the beginning of Romanticism. The new artistic trends can be seen in the increased naturalism, representation of the landscape/nature, in the contrasts, and in a greater emotionality of the person represented. Detailed but loose is the way to describe the winter dress...
