Worldwide shipping is complimentary - There are no additional charges for handling & delivery.
Pauline Vallayer – Moutet is best known for her feminine, soft, figurative interior genre scenes with women pursuing daily chores such as cooking, cleaning or sewing.
Here, however a magnificent impressionist outdoor landscape of a haystack, reminiscent of what Claude Monet sensationally painted just a few years earlier. Inspired, but in clearly in keeping with that feminine Pauline Vallayer-Moutet ‘feel’.
I don’t know who Mrs. Doisneau was but feel there might be a story to be uncovered here.
Other than that Pauline Vallayer-Moutet’s work turns up regulary on the market and that her paintings command good prices, not much is known about this artiste - alas as it is often the case concerning the biographies of 19th century female artistes.
This valuable and art historically relevant painting is yet in untouched 'as found' condition, with numerous little scars and soils, but no structural issues whatsoever - It will be the future owner’s privilege and responsibility to decide if the object receives some restoration or not.

This large painting will make everybody stop, look, smile and want to buy a lovely rose from that charming girl. Take your time and have a look at the details … the stopper of the water ceramic bottle, her piece of bread, the torn and frayed clothing and more.
Worldwide shipping is complimentary - There are no additional charges for handling & delivery.
Hedwig Mechle-Grossmann is well known and appreciated for her expressive genre scenes depicting children. Born in Görlitz, she worked in Berlin and moved on to Ödenburg, where she died. Important examples of her work are held in the Ödenburg Landesmuseum.
A few words on condition:
The painting has received slight sympathetic restoration - The partially frayed edges have been professionally relined with a narrow strip of new canvas for strength and then the canvas has been re-stretched on to the original stretcher, with the arms of the stretcher covering most of the newly attached strips of canvas.
One of the arms of the stretcher has suffered slight worm damage in the past. That short section has been treated, stabilized and the restorer covered the unsightly area with a strip of the same canvas, which was used to reline the edges.
The frame seems to be original (certainly early 20thC) - the corners have been re-glued, small areas have been retouched and minor sections of the molding are missing.

Alfred Edouard Tourillon (1871 1942) Still Life - Basket of Shrimps Oil Painting
Located in Meinisberg, CH
Alfred Edouard Tourillon
(French, 9.9.1871 - 9.2.1942)
Still life with a basket of shrimps, seaweed and a lemon
• Oil on canvas mounted on canvas, stretcher ca. 38 x 46 cm
• Vintage shabby chic frame ca. 60 x 69 cm
• Signed bottom right
Alfred Edouard Tourillon was born on September 9, 1871 in Livry in Seine et Oise, (Today Livry-Gargan in Seine-Saint Denis).
He was born into a world, where painting has been going through unprecedented upheavals for two decades. The Academies of Fine Arts are called into question, the traditional approach to subjects and genres is shaken up and recently, painters have been indulging in a revolutionary concept of light and color. New techniques and outdoor plein-air painting lead to a new style of painting.
Tourillon was attracted early in his life to the fine art of painting. At a very young age, he rubbed shoulders with artists living in the Nouvelle Athènes district in Paris and was eventually apprenticed by Denis-Pierre Begeret (1846 - 1910), who recognized Tourillon’s extraordinary talent for detailed composition in still lifes and landscapes.
Based in Lagny, Alfred Edouard Tourillon went on to exhibit at the Salon des Artistes in 1896, 1898, 1899, 1900 and 1901 and received plenty of recognition for his talent from collectors, as well as from his peers.
In 1899, he received an honorable mention by "Le Salon des Artistes Français" in Paris for "Les Artichokes". This painting was later acquired by Baron Alphonse de Rothschild and is held today at the Museum of the city of Draguignan.
Tourillon would frequent the neo-impressionists of the Lagny group, meeting artists such as Maximilien Luce, Camille Pissaro, Henri Cortes Émile Gustave Cavallo-Peduzzi, being especially friendly with Léo Gausson and André Cortes...

Henry Bergh – The Founder of the A.S.P.C.A.
• Watercolour, gouache, Indian ink and possibly some oil paint on heavy paper
• Sheet measures, ca. 44.5 x 57.5
• Signed and monogrammed
Worldwide shipping is complimentary - There are no charges for handling & delivery.
The image depicts a street scene in 19th century New York in which Henry Bergh rebukes a carter, who is brutalizing his starving horse and making it drag the overloaded wagon.
The here depicted Henry Bergh was the son of a German ship builder in New York and with the aid of his small private income, he spent most of his life fighting for laws protecting animals. Over fierce opposition and ridicule he obtained a charter in 1867 from State of New York forming the A.S.P.C.A. (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) and in 1875 a similar one covering the prevention of cruelty to children. By 1893 all states had adopted laws based on his original statutes.
And the artist, who painted this dramatic scene was Frederick Elmiger (1890-1975), an American illustrator. He frequently produced series - often with historical themes - for the Donald...

The small harbor at the Lake of Biel / Bienne in Switzerland
• Oil on artist board, ca. 47 x 38 cm
• Frame, ca. 54 x 45 cm
• Signed bottom right
Alphons Müller lived and worked in the watch industries in Biel/Bienne in Switzerland up to about 1933. He then decided to become a full-time artist and painted landscapes, still lifes, portraits/nudes in various styles up to his early death in 1955.
Alphons Müller was the proverbial hardworking bohemian artist. He lived in a small cold room above a pup and often struggled to make ends meet. On one hand he would paint commercial views of local beauty spots - often of the Lake of Bienne. These paintings were generally executed using very thin paint layers (to make the expensive material last longer ...) in a very bright impressionist style. On the other hand, he would create intelligent, generous and deep reaching images - especially during the war.
In the late thirties he meets his two loyal patrons, the baker Werner Gass and the pharmacist...

Garçon avec des Fruit - Boy with Fruit - Oil on Canvas - Naive Painting
By Nino Giuffrida
Located in Meinisberg, CH
Nino Giuffrida
(Sicilian, 1924, active in France)
Un Garçon avec des Fruits
• Oil on canvas, ca. 41 x 33 cm
• Frame, made by the renowned framer Knöll from Zürich, ca. 54 x 46 cm
• Signed top left
Born in 1924 in Sicily, Nino already attended the artistic high school in Catania at the age of 17, where he befriended fellow painters including Pippo Aleo and Giovanni Calogero. At that time, he painted with passion everything he saw, landscapes, seascapes, still lifes.
After a first attempt to come to France with his friend Giovanni in 1948, aborted for lack of a visa. Nino finally arrived at the Gare de Lyon on December 8, 1949 and settled at number 30 rue Gabrielle in Montmartre.
Nino began to paint Paris. Like many Montmartre artists of this period, while he painted all day long, he moved about in the evening on the terraces of the cafés of Montmartre and Saint-Germain-des-Prés to transform himself into a portrait painter and randomly sketch the customers in restaurants. Nino then devoted himself more and more to the painting of children, which became his favorite theme of inspiration. Pierre Imbourg, journalist and art critic, wrote of him: "Montmartre, the land of little ‘Poulbots’, inspiring Nino to record in his mind all these childrens faces whose intense facial expression he would endevour to reproduce".
It was also at this time that his career as a Montmartre painter influenced by cubism began.
With the disappearance of the art galleries in Montmartre, Nino decides to settle on the French Riviera, in Cannes then in Vallauris. From 1952 his personal exhibitions follow one another and Nino becomes an international painter: Rome, Brussels, Chicago, Copenhagen, Helsingborg and Aüs in Sweden, in Geneva, in Kourou in Guyana... In Paris, he manages the Galerie de la Colonne...
