Lucien-Victor Guirand de Scévola Figurative Drawings and Watercolors
French, 1871-1950
Lucien-Victor Guirand de Scévola was a French painter. He was a student of Fernand Cormon and Pierre Dupuis at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. De Scévola's art is remarkable for his silky, velvety and smooth style. The very first part of his career was marked by symbolism, but he later developed his language, his Art Deco like bunches of flowers are the best known. He was also a great portraitist for the socialites and aristocrats of the period. He is also known for his pioneering leadership of the Camoufleurs (the French Camouflage Department) in World War I.

It is known that Guirand de Scevola was very interested in the Palace of Versailles and its Old Regime atmosphere, that he often painted it and that he participated in the Versailles Revival movement at the beginning of the century. This probably led him to paint scenes in the 18th century style, for which he was particularly well known and which are still sought after.
What is striking is the modernity of the execution of our pastel, which obviously contrasts with its subject in the style of the 18th century. Guirand de Scevoal is a great colourist and he proves it here with eclat, by building up his composition with white pastel highlights, contrasting with brown and black. There is something of the northern painters in this treatment of light. All this, as always with him, is very subtle. The light radiating from the window is almost an abstract notation, but it gives meaning to this interior scene.

L V Guirand de Scevola (1871-1950) Portrait of a young woman, 1928, oval pastel
By Lucien-Victor Guirand de Scévola
Located in Paris, FR
Lucien-Victor Guirand de Scevola (1871-1950)
Portrait of a young woman
Pastel on paper
38 x 28 cm (oval)
Framed under glass in a vintage framing : 45 x 35 cm
A label on the back "1928 Portrait de femme Etude au pastel de Guirand de Scévola" (see photographs please)
This pastel study is of course not signed, as the label on the back of the frame gives its attribution to Guirand de Scévola and, equally interestingly, the date 1928, but in fact the artist's style and execution are immediately recognisable without the need for a signature.
This type of woman with a bun is typical of the models the artist loved. Her mysterious air recalls his Symbolist period, and pastel is hisr preferred medium because it lends itself to all the characteristics typical of his art.
