This portrait is a wonderful example by the artist with intricate detail seen in the fabrics,
exquisitely beautiful and executed with technical precision.
Born in Armenia, Hovsep Pushman (1877-1966) became known for still lifes of exotic subjects, featuring antique objects with Oriental motifs, Nubian princesses, or Spanish gypsies. His paintings had soft lighting and quite often tapestries as backgrounds and were harmonious in tone with refined, delicate brushwork.
He studied at the Constantinople Academy of Art, at the Chicago Art Academy, and in Paris under Jules Joseph Lefebvre, Tony Robert-Fleury, and Adolphe Dechenaud who encouraged him to explore his Eastern heritage.
After settling in Chicago in 1915, he became a U.S. citizen and began creating his signature works in the 1930s. He was also a resident of New York City and painted in California where he was active in the California Art Club.
Hovsep Pushman was one of those rare artists whose work was appreciated by both critics and collectors and who enjoyed recognition and good fortune. In a 1932 one-man show at New York's Grand Central Art Galleries, the entire display of 16 Pushman paintings was sold before opening day's end.
