Male and female portrait, both in silk kimono, possibly textile dealers
By Christoffel Lubieniecki
Located in Amsterdam, NL
CHRISTOFFEL LUBIENIECKI (1659-1729) Pair of portraits of a gentleman and a lady, both in silk kimono, before a country house (circa 1680) Indistinctly signed “C.......” on a box under the man’s left hand Oil on canvas, 79.5 x 67 cm each Both sitters are portrayed wearing a silk “Japanese” coat. During the second half of the seventeenth the Japanese silk coat, an adapted Japanese kimono, became a real vogue in the Dutch elite. The exclusive Dutch trade contacts with Japan can explain the popularity of the kimono-style silk coats in the Netherlands. Everybody who could afford one, dressed in such a fashionable and comfortable coat and, like the present sitters, some proud owners had themselves portrayed in a “Japanese” coat often together with an oriental carpet to underline their standing and international connections. These portraits are the work of the Polish-born portraitist Christoffel Lubieniecki (also known as Lubienitski, Lubinitski or Lubiniecki) Lubieniecki was first trained in Hamburg under Julian Stuhr and after 1675 in Amsterdam under Adriaen Backer and Gerard de Lairesse. He specialized in landscapes, generally of an Italianate character, and in portraits. The loving execution of these contented burghers, enjoying the garden vistas of their country house, places him alongside Amsterdam portraitists such as Constantijn Netscher and Michiel van Musscher...

Judaica Oil Painting 1945 Palestine Old Jewish Man Polish Israeli Artist
By Ozer Shabat
Located in Surfside, FL
Ozer Shabat 1978-1901 Ozer Shabbat was an Israeli painter, a resident of Haifa. Belonged to the Palestine Expressionist group of the late 1920s and early 1930s. Shabbat was born in Wolbrom, Poland. At the end of the First World War he went to Holland for agricultural training in the framework of the HeChalutz movement, prior to his immigration to Palestine. In 1920 he immigrated to Eretz Israel and joined the Hulda group. Later he joined the Merhavia group and there he began painting. Because of his desire to study drawing, he left the group and moved to Jerusalem. In 1921, he wrote articles in the newspaper "HaSadeh" on the subject of agriculture and Dutch cheese. Ozer Shabath won the first prize in a competition for the design of the Dutch Consulate's Garden in Jerusalem, enabling him to travel to Paris in 1923 to study painting. Until 1925 he studied painting at the Grande Chaumiere Academy in Paris. This year he returned to Eretz Israel and settled in Haifa, where he lived until his death. In 1928 he participated for the first time in an exhibition of Eretz Israel artists at the Tower of David. Since then he has participated in all the general exhibitions of Israeli artists. In 1934, together with painters Menachem Shemi, Avraham Mohar, Zvi Meirovitch and others, he founded the Haifa Artists' Group. In 1935-36 he toured Europe and visited Italy, France and England. During his visit, he maintained contacts with artists from the Jewish school of Paris. He has exhibited in several solo exhibitions, represented Israel in exhibitions in Europe and participated in international exhibitions in New York, Johannesburg and Zurich. In 1958 he represented Israel in the Venice Biennale. In 1960, Shabat, together with Elchanan Halpern he represented the Israeli Painters Association at the International Congress of Plastic Arts held in Vienna, Austria . In the 40s and 50s he focused on landscape pictures. However, despite the focus on the Israeli landscape, the approach is universal in the framework of the post-Impressionist painting school. In the 1960s, his approach changed and he turned more to abstraction. The abstract direction gradually evolved. The point of departure of the abstract approach is the architectural landscape, but this view loses its real character and becomes only imaginary: the buildings lose their real character and turn into exclusive geometric areas that are usually set against a dark background. Over time, architecture captured the lion's share of his paintings. Cities like Safed, Jaffa and Jerusalem are the subject of many pictures. He taught painting and art at the schools of the kibbutzim in Ramat Yochanan and Kfar Yehoshua, in high schools in Haifa and in the IDF and Gordon seminars. His paintings were purchased and are in the permanent collection of the Bezalel National Museum (now the Israel Museum), Haifa Museum of Art, Haifa Maritime Museum, Acre Municipal Museum.

Portrait of Hannah Clements as a Shepherdess c.1730; by Charles Jervas
By Charles Jervas
Located in London, GB
This elegant and graceful portrait is said to represent Hannah Clements (1710-1781) nee Gore. Painted by Charles Jervas - who was in 1723 appointed to the post of King’s Painter by George I and in 1725 to George II - it is one of his finest and most impressive examples. Jervas was considered the supreme practitioner of female portraiture in the 1720s and 1730s, and was the foremost successor to Sir Godfrey Kneller after the latter's death in 1723. Presented in an outstanding carved and gilded antique frame, a remarkable work of art in itself. The sitter is captured in a moment of relaxation in a country landscape. Jervas continued the idiom of Sir Godfrey Kneller, his master, whilst introducing a new ease and suggestion of informality into his portraits. By depicting the sitter within the landscape with sheep Arcadian simplicity is being suggested. This draws from the tradition of pastoral literature and by the early 17th century was already popular in art; all educated individuals were familiar with Latin and Greek pastoral poetry. The mythological world of Arcady was an idyll that the ladies and gentlemen of the Court could inhabit in the guise of shepherds and shepherdesses. The pastoral tradition in literature and plays had been embraced by an aristocratic class since classical times. Life in the country was perceived as peaceful, contemplative and free of worry of hardships, a time to pursue pleasure. To be painted in such a manner created a tangible expression of power and wealth. When the portrait was painted the pastoral was so ingrained that the mere inclusion of such elements suggested Arcadia to the viewer. And this is further emphasised by painting the light to reflect sunset and the suggestion of tranquillity. Of course, the sitter did not live in such a place and this masterful painting was a flight from chaos to a tranquil world. Hannah Catherine Clements (nee Gore) (1710-1781) was the daughter of Rev. William Gore (and granddaughter of Sir William Gore, 3rd Baronet), and Honora Prittie. She married Nathaniel Clements (1705-1777), an important Irish politician and financial figure, in January 1730. Nathaniel became the main financial manager of the British and Irish Government in Ireland during the period, and was de facto Minister for Finance from 1740 to 1777. He had an extensive property portfolio, including Abbotstown, County Dublin, estates in County Leitrim and County Cavan and was developer of property in Dublin, including part of Henrietta Street where he lived at No. 7 from 1734 to 1757 in what was described as “Parisian luxury”. The couple had six children. Charles Jervas was born in Clonliske in Kings Country, Ireland in 1675. He received his artistic training in Kneller’s studio and was later, by the 1690’s, Kneller’s assistant. According to Vertue Jervas made small copies of the Raphael cartoons, then at Hampton Court, in about 1698 and sold them to Dr George Clarke of All Souls, Oxford who lent him £50 to embark on the then essential ‘grand tour’ in 1699. Taking in Paris and settling in Rome by 1703, he furthered his artistic training and became a voracious copyist of the old masters. George Vertue noted that he was known as “Carlo Jervasi” and was a “good, engenious painter”. On his return to London in 1709 Tatler (15th April 1709) remarked that he was 'the last great painter Italy has sent us' and noted that he “painted many ladies as shepherdesses and country girls”. The style that he cultivated made him Kneller's natural successor when that artist died in 1723. In 1727 he married a widow, Penelope Hume, a lady of considerable means (£20,000). In September 1738 he travelled to Italy seeking some reprieve from his asthma, returning in May 1739. He died in November that year and bequeathed £1000 to his friend, Pope, should he outlive his widow: this did not happen as she survived until 1747. The following spring his considerable art collection was sold in 2265 lots in a sale lasting 9 days. Apart from royalty Jervas gained the patronage of many of the ruling and intellectual elite. He moved in the highest circles of the literary and social world and became an intimate of Sir Robert Walpole and the poet Alexander Pope, to whom he gave drawing lessons.

His portrait of Lady Barbara North realised £42,050 at Christies London 11th July 2008, lot 55. Titan Fine Art are pleased to offer this work, which is representative of the artist’s best work.
