A Rest in the Courtyard, Antique French Oil on Canvas, Charles Alexandre DeBacq

$2,400List Price

About the Item

Signed and dated “A. DeBacq 1849” (Charles-Alexandre DeBacq), this charming oil on canvas painting portrays a French noble couple enjoying a snack in the courtyard after an afternoon horseback ride. Surrounded by a highly-carved giltwood frame adorned with foliage and a textured lozenge background, the small, colorful painting features a woman in a gold and silver gown, seated at a table covered with white linen with a pink stripe and a wicker basket of fruit. DeBacq had exemplary technique, finely detailing the woman’s gown with fabric folds and a high sheen, indicating that the dress was fashioned from expensive silk. Standing behind the table is a well-dressed gentleman clad in blue and red with gold trim and white fluffy sleeves. Once again, you can visualize the nuances that indicate the man is wearing the finest fabrics. In contrast, the servant woman who is carrying a serving bowl from the house is dressed in cotton wares of drab colors, except for a green and red apron. Another staff member, a stable hand, can be seen tending to two horses in the background. Three chickens can be seen in the foreground, foraging for food at the seated woman’s feet, while a green thicket can be seen at the rear of the property, under a blue sky filled with clouds. Charles-Alexandre DeBacq was born in Paris in 1804. A student of Antoine-Jean Gros, who was in turn a pupil of Jacques-Louis David, DeBacq specialized in historical scenes and portraits. Greatly respected in France, several of DeBacq’s paintings hang in the Palace of Versailles and in museums across Europe.

Antique French Oil Painting on Board, “The Unveiling” by Emile Meyer, 1823-1893

By Emile Meyer

Located in Dallas, TX

During the late 19th century, the French system of government, known as the Third Republic, began to distance itself from the Latin church. As a result, artists at French academies of art began to produce works known as “cardinal paintings”, which were satirical renderings of church dignitaries dressed in vibrant red robes, enjoying their privileged lifestyles. This particular oil on board painting by Emile Meyer...

Large 18th Century French Oil on Canvas Painting Depicting a Hunt Scene

Located in Dallas, TX

This large (110 inches high) oil on canvas painting depicts a successful hunter, with his felled game displayed near his retriever dogs. Our hunter is leaning against a stone pedestal, clad in blue coat and pants with his rifle beneath his right hand. The man is wearing a gold cap with red fabric attached to it and has a sword on his left hip. Three retriever dogs stand to the hunter’s left, while a fourth sits in front of him (the man appears to be motioning to this dog with his left hand). An orange terra cotta vase adorned with spiral fluting sits on top of a molded plinth at the top of the pedestal. Ivy has begun to wrap around the vase, which also is festooned with green drapery. On a ledge at the base of the pedestal is the felled game: a rabbit and three birds. The hunting display is surrounded by numerous trees and shrubbery. Mountains and a lake can be seen in the background, beneath a blue sky with pink and orange clouds and birds flying. Based on the size and vertical orientation, the scene was most likely part of a French boiserie room...
