Leith Ridley Art

French, South African

Mrs. Leith Ridley is a South African-born citizen of France, former film designer & decorator, painter and portraitist living in Bulgaria. She paints almost exclusively on private commission. Her portraits in oil inspired by the Dutch and Italian Old Masters, as well in a large-format manner mostly in acrylics, in line with the more popular Contemporary and Pop styles, with a statement or observation to make or simply fun behind the conception, depending on the character of the subject. As well as an original style of large abstract landscape, a delicate and often dramatic play between space, transparency and texture, using either acrylic or oil, or both. Ridley’s artworks are owned in private and public collections worldwide.

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...
