About the Item
I love the feisty attitude of the girl depicted! With her hand on her hip, she seems to be saying to the artist: "Whatya looking at anyway?" She looks like she has a good head on her shoulders and her feet firmly on the ground. She's no professional artist's model, that much is certain. She is not finding it necessary to put on a smile. There is nothing artificial about her, and her face shows her every emotion.
I have not been able to identify her costume: she might be a bohemian girl, or a peasant girl from the South of Europe. The materials on which the picture is painted, notably the stamped French 6M strecher, are from a metropolitan colour merchants' . This is not something you would have been able find in the countryside, and it is hence likely that the artist was on a study trip abroad, curious about locol cultures and costumes. How interesting it would be to know how the artist and his model met!
Size of the canvas measured without its frame: 46 x 27 cm.

A young poet or artist, French Romantic period portrait of a sensitive figure
Located in Norwich, GB
You will find this young man good company! It is a pleasure to study his thoughtful, sensitive face. He has a benevolent and real presence. To my mind, he certainly has an artistic nature - he looks like a thinker, poet and/or musician.
Dating from what the French call the Romantic Period, the early 1800s, our painting is monogrammed AG and may be attributed to Auguste Glaize.
Born in Montpellier, Auguste Glaize studied under the painters Achille Devéria and Eugène Devéria.
He came to be one of the great French Romantic painters of the early 19th century, marking his career with important history paintings and cycles of monumental religious...
