Pierre-Auguste Renoir 1841-1919 French Gabrielle aux grenades (Gabrielle with pomegranates) Signed "Renoir" (upper left) Oil on canvas Pierre-Auguste Renoir is synonymous with Impressionist portraiture, known for his light and airy canvases that perfectly capture the beauty and warmth of subjects. Among his most cherished subjects are those closest to him, particularly Gabrielle Renard, his family’s nanny. Gabrielle is featured in some of Renoir’s most famous portraits, each rendering something new about her monumental presence in Renoir's life and artistic practice. This stunning portrait, entitled Gabrielle aux grenades, is one of the most detailed and compelling portraits of Gabrielle Renard to come to the market in recent years. As the nanny to Renoir’s children and the cousin of his wife, Aline, Gabrielle held a cherished place in Renoir's life and home. She played a crucial role in assisting the famed artist during his later years, positioning Renoir’s paintbrushes as he battled rheumatoid arthritis. This intimate portrait captures her gentle features in Renoir's iconic feathery style, epitomizing the essence of his celebrated oeuvre. From the quintessentially Renoir color palette to the delicate rendering of Gabrielle's eyes and the fruit before her, Renoir's affection for the subject is evident in this intimate work. Painted in 1915, this portrait stands as a testament to the artist's prolific career, created during its final chapter. Despite suffering from arthritis, Renoir nonetheless achieves a rich depth of color and meticulous level of detail indicative of his finest technique, making this portrait an exceptional rarity. Renoir’s portraits of Gabrielle are now displayed in major museums and prestigious private collections, including the Musée d’Orsay, the National Gallery in London, the Harvard Art Museums, the Musée de Grenoble and the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia, which houses the largest collection of paintings by Renoir...

Artist Edward Cucuel and his wife Clara Lotte von Marcard spent their first two decades together in Germany, mostly in a villa on Lake Ammersee in Holzhausen near Munich. It is the works created in this period, mainly outdoor scenes of young women in fashionable attire of the day, that are most collected and appreciated among his works. It’s easy to see why- they capture an elegance and sense of calm and easy leisure- of long days in gardens or by the water.  This is one of those captured moments with a well-dressed woman watching the sailing yacht...

Carl Nordell (1885 - 1957) The Pensive Beauty Oil on canvas 40 x 32 inches Signed lower left Nordell was born in Copenhagen on 23 September 1885. In 1892 the Nordell family settled in Westerly, New Jersey, where Carl Johan, one of several children, received his education. Reportedly, a local gambler and art collector, Richard Canfield was so impressed with young Nordell's talent that he assisted him to gain admittance to the Rhode Island School of Design. Carl was a tireless student and serious in his studies of art, literature, and philosophy. Friends nicknamed him "The American Frans Hals," as a result of his study of that Dutch master. After graduating from the school in 1905, Nordell continued his training at the Art Students League in New York City for the following two years. There he received criticism and instruction from George Bridgman (1864-1943), a noted teacher of anatomy, and Frank Vincent DuMond (1865-1951), a landscapist associated with Old Lyme. The popularity of Impressionism in America at this time had reached its peak, and the style was of paramount influence in Nordell's advanced studies. Around 1906, Nordell visited an exhibition of paintings by the Ten, most of whom were American Impressionists. Moved by the work of Tarbell and Joseph R. De Camp, he sought instruction from them at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Nordell worked diligently under Tarbell and experimented with the genre of women in interiors, or Intimism. In 1909, Nordell received the Paige Traveling Scholarship, which provided for two years of continued study in Europe. He became one of the hundreds of Americans to receive criticism from Jean-Paul Laurens at the Académie Julian in Paris. From this base, he made study trips to visit major museums and galleries in Italy, Holland, Spain and Germany and during this period Nordell's style reached a level of uniqueness, though he definitely remained under the general influence of French Impressionism. By the time of his return to Boston in 1911, Nordell had successfully incorporated the use of broken color, a high-keyed palette, and the practice of working en plein air to achieve an accurate representation of light and atmosphere. In October of that year, the Boston Art Club presented eighty-seven of Nordell's watercolors and oils to the viewing public. Some of the watercolors seem revolutionary in their spontaneity. Nordell continued his career in Boston at Fenway Studios and exhibited in national competitions, including the annuals of the National Academy of Design, the Art Institute of Chicago; at the 1912 biennial of the Corcoran Gallery he won the fourth Clarke Prize. Nordell's finances were augmented by portrait commissions of some of Boston's affluent citizens. The artist was so intent on recording the sitter's likeness that in this genre, he deviated from his usual impressionist technique. In the women-in-interior genre, he frequently depicted a fully draped woman seated in profile or at an oblique angle to the picture plane. These pensive and attractive young ladies usually gaze into space and become an integral part of the pleasant ambiance of the scene. In this way, Nordell remained within the Genteel Tradition as it was manifest in Boston. The artist exhibited several such works in the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco in 1915, and won a silver medal for his efforts. In 1918, a one-man exhibition of fifty works was presented at the Boston Art Club. Nordell remained active in the Boston area art clubs and societies through the early 1920s. In the winter of 1921 Babcock Art Galleries presented him with yet another one-man show. During this period, Nordell increased the production of prints and won the Salmagundi Club's Shaw Prize for etching in 1923. Sometime after 1927 he began taking summer sketching trips to Chautauqua Lake...
