Otto Pilny Figurative Paintings

Swiss, 1866-1936

Otto Pilny began his artistic education in Prague. He lived in Vienna and ended up settling in Zurich. Just like Ludwig Deutsch (1855–1935), Rudolf Ernst (1854–1932) and Carl Leopold Müller (1834–92), Pilny was encouraged to travel abroad. During his two trips to Egypt, a favorite destination of the Austro-Hungarian school, the first one in 1889 and later in 1892, he acquired the taste of painting Orientalist scenes of Middle Eastern landscapes, life, customs and people, something that he continued doing for his entire artistic career. His paintings also captured scenes of Islamic culture and traditions. In recent years, Pilny's work has attracted the eye of Museum curators, collectors and art dealers.

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...

"Woman Feeding Birds" – Antique Oil on Canvas An evocative 19th-century oil painting depicting a rustic pastoral scene, where a woman tenderly feeds a goose in a lush countryside setting. This charming composition is framed in an ornate gilded frame, adding to its elegance and historical appeal. Details: Artist: Unidentified Title: Woman Feeding Birds Medium: Oil on canvas Framed Dimensions: 54 x 39 cm Flat Dimensions: 35 x 20 cm Backside Details: Sticker present (further information upon request) Condition: The painting shows signs of age and patina, with surface wear consistent with its historical character.

Historical Context: This piece is reminiscent of European genre paintings from the 18th and 19th centuries, which often depicted idyllic rural life and intimate moments of everyday existence. The soft brushstrokes, naturalistic color palette, and delicate attention to fabric and form reflect a traditional Romantic or Rococo-inspired style, suggesting an influence from French and Italian genre painters of the period. A wonderful acquisition for collectors of antique European oil...

Woman with Two Children in Red - Dutch Style Interior Scene in Oil on Canvas

By Joseph Tomanek

Located in Soquel, CA

Woman with Two Children in Red - Interior Scene in Oil on Canvas Lovely interior scene by notable artist Joseph Tomanek (Cech-American, 1889-1974). A woman sits near a window, holding a small child dressed in bright red in her lap. Another child, somewhat older, stands next to her, looking at the young child. Soft lights spills though the window, illuminating the scene in a warm glow. A plant with red flowers sits on the windowsill, and foliage can be seen outside. Signed "Tomanek" in the lower right corner (note that the shape above the signature is a toy train) Presented in a carved wood frame with a linen liner. Frame size: 30.75"H x 26.75"W Canvas size: 24"H x 20"W Tomanek, the son of a carpenter, was born in Moravia. His family discouraged his art talent and wanted him to be a shoemaker. He studied in his homeland of Czechoslovakia at the School of Design in Prague. He emigrated to America around the turn of the century and arrived in Chicago in 1910 and worked as an interior decorator. He attended the Art Institute of Chicago and studied with Antonin Sterba. He also studied with Albert Krehbiel and K.A. Buehr. He was a member of the Bohemian Artist Club, Association of Chicago Painters, and Sculptors, and the Chicago Gallery Association. His work is included in the collection of the Vanderpoel Art Association (Chicago). He exhibited from the 1910s-40s, including exhibitions at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Georgia Museum of Art. Of the difficulty of posing nudes in Chicago, he said, "In Paris you can rent little gardens studios and pose your models there in privacy. Here, if I work out of doors, I have to pose the girls in bathing suits...
