Exceptional lacquer on a gold background by André Margat, 1942

About the Item

André Margat is a French artist widely known for his representations of animals. He is a member of the 'Groupe des Douze,' an association of artists created in 1932 with the aim of presenting French animal art in exhibitions and honoring an artist each year. This artwork is created using painted lacquer on a gold background, a complex technique that showcases the artist's virtuosity. Additionally, this piece reflects a detailed observation of nature. The artist skillfully captures the behaviors of the felines with great accuracy, bringing a sense of movement and dynamism that attests to a thorough anatomical and behavioral study. The felines are depicted against a simple rocky background, providing a defined spatial context. The golden sky adds light and allows the viewer to focus on the essence of the painting—the felines. The artwork is signed and dated 1942 at the bottom right and comes with a Macassar ebony veneer frame. Dimensions: 50 x 100 cm (frame: 80 x 130 cm).
