Paul Louis Léger Chardin
Portrait of a woman, French Antique portrait of a woman, framed portrait

1874

About the Item

Antique French female portrait signed bottom right P Chardin (Paul Louis Léger Chardin 1833-1918) and dated 1874, Ville d'Avray. This delightful treasure of a painting is simple and unassuming but at the same time, very attractive. A woman, who I believe is Madame E Desaugiere sits on a large red studded chair. She looks away from the artist, deep in thought, her blue eyes complimented by a blue neck tie stored neatly under her white collar. Her arms are folded and the white cuffs of her shirt add interest. MORE ABOUT THIS PAINTING: Medium: Oil on stretched canvas. Overall size: 17.5ins x 20ins or 44cms x 51cms (Approx) Date: 1874 Signed: Paul Louis Léger Chardin (1833-1918) Paul was a painter of genre scenes, portraits, landscapes and urban landscapes. A pupil of Dauzats and Justin Ouvrié, he exhibited at the Paris Salon between 1855 and 1875. His views of Florence, Venice, Versailles and the towns of southern Brittany are often anecdotal in character. He is noted for his Portrait of the Composer Kreutzer.

  • Antique French Impressionist Landscape/riverscape by Ernest Gaston Marche
    Located in AIGNAN, FR
    Antique French impressionist riverscape/landscape oil painting on wood board in a gilt frame, unsigned (see below). This is a typical and charming late 19th Century French impressionist oil painting of a woman reading on the bank of a river. This lively landscape interpretation has been deftly applied on a canvas board by the artist using a small couteau and brushes. Some areas of elevation created with impasto thickened oils and dashes of paint give this painting animation. The light travels in from the bottom right to contrast with the dark hues of the thick riverbank vegetation.

    François-Joseph KINSON (Bruges 1770 – Bruges 1839) Portrait of a young woman near a spring, accompanied by her dog Oil on canvas H. 73 cm; L. 60 cm circa 1815-1817 We owe this elegant portrait to François-Joseph Kinson from Bruges, which is still linked to the art of the First Empire. We find in this artist this type of pose that is a bit rigid, sometimes with a countryside in the background, and this way of treating costumes and faces. Thus the full-length portrait of Jenny...
