About the Item

A very suggestive oil painting of a beautiful bare breasted woman which could be a prostitute or a temptress leaning out a mindow offering a rose bud to an admirer, and seemingly encouraged to do the gesture be a woman half hidden behind the curtain. This work was executed by an obscure artist named Emil Preuss (German, 1866-1950). After an original titled "Le Bouton Rose" by Antoine Wiertz (Belgium, 1806-1865). Sgned Preuss E. in the lower left corner. The canvas has been relined and is presented ina period gilt wood frame. The original was painted in 1864 and was originally owned by the Musées Royaux des Beaux-Arts de Belgique. It was eventually sold at auction to further the Mission of the Hartford Art School.

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...
