Small country lane

By Henry Meylan

Located in Genève, GE

Work on canvas This artistic work depicts a captivating rural scene, imbued with tranquility and simplicity. In the center of the composition, a dirt road invites the viewer to get lost in this picturesque landscape. Earthy tones dominate the canvas, evoking an autumnal or winter atmosphere, where leaves are absent, leaving bare branches dancing in the gray sky. The house with its red roofs immediately catches the eye, contrasting with the shades of browns and greens in the rest of the painting. This pop of bright color serves as a focal point, suggesting warmth and refuge beyond the apparent coldness of the surroundings. The trees, stripped of their foliage, stand on either side of the path, forming a sort of natural corridor that guides the eye towards the background. The juxtaposition of the stone walls on the left and the wooden fence on the right creates a visual tension between nature and human architecture, reflecting a harmony typical of country landscapes. The use of light is subtle but effective, casting a soft glow that envelops the scene in a soft and serene aura. The cloudy sky brings an additional dimension, accentuating the impression of calm and silence...

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...
