Late 19th Century Oil Painting Called ‘Le Bouton Rose’ by Emil Preuss

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.
