  • French 18th Century Portrait Signed Legrand, 1790
    Located in palm beach, FL
    18th century oval portrait oil on canvas of an aristocrat The individual with the mischievous look wears a highly voluminous powdered starch hairdo. An earring on his ear is a rare example of coquetry in a picture. His corner smile and brave cheekbones distinguish the character. The eighteenth century is an era of grace. We have never seen men and women so properly prepared throughout history. The extravagant display was consistent with the rococo aesthetic. Powdered hairstyles became fashionable among males in the 17th century, under the reign of Louis14, the Sun King. At the period, France ruled fashion, and its influence expanded to other countries. This gentleman reflects the entirety of the Grand Siecle...

  • Signed Portrait of an Aristocratic Lady by English Victorian Artist Laurence Koe
    By Laurence Koe
    Located in Vancouver, British Columbia
    A large and beautiful three quarter length portrait of a partly seated lady her hat over one arm holding a bouquet of flowers, the other arm held upward holding a branch of a tree. This original oil on canvas by the British artist Laurence Koe, (1863-1913), is signed on the lower right and dated 1905. Lawrence E. Koe was a portrait painter and sculptor. He is listed as living in Brighton when he first exhibited at The Royal Academy in 1891, but by 1894 he had moved to London where he appears to have settled for the remainder of his life. Koe exhibited widely; over twenty times at The Royal Academy, but also at the R.O.I, The Royal Society of Artists in Birmingham and the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool. Most of his exhibited works were portraits, and among his sitters were the wives of fellow artists Harold Speed RP (1872-1957) and Harold Piffard (fl. 1895-1899). In 1896 Koe exhibited “Venus and Tännhauser” at the Royal Academy, now in the permanent collection in the Brighton Museum and Art and he showed a painting of Sappho two years later. He clearly shows the influence of other artists working at the same time, notably Singer Sargent, Arthur Hacker RA (1858-1919) and Herbert James Draper...
