About the Item
One of my favourite pieces at the moment - the subject, a mysterious young woman seated on a stool with her back towards us has such a strong presence that it feels as if she were right in the room with us. The artist uses a combination of charcoal and red chalk to create a sense of light and shadow, highlighting the musculature and curves of the figure's back and arms. The work, dating from the final years of the 19th Century, is a work by Rene Marie Leon Devillario (1874-1942).
Devillario studied with Jean-Paul Laurens, Tony Robert-Fleury and Jean-Jacques Henner. In Paris, he exhibited regularly at the Salon des Artistes Français from 1902 onwards, obtaining an honourable mention in 1901 and a gold medal in 1925.
The drawing measures 39 x 55 cm at sight in the mount and is signed at the lower right. An old tear in the paper has been professionally conserved and remains faintly visible with light cockling. The overall size in a frame with conservation grade materials is 72 x 54 cm.

French 19th Century Romantic Period 1830s Paris Society Beauty Portrait
By Adele Grasset
Located in Norwich, GB
A astounding portrait of a society beauty by Adele Grasset (active ca 1830-1850). With an open face and and lightly smiling lips, she is wearing a gown typical of the romantic period. Drawn in graphite and heightened with white, the drawing is dated 1836
As often with woman artists of the 18th and 19th century, there is little biographical information available on Adèle Grasset. We do know however, that she had studied with the highly prominent artist François Gérard (1770-1837) , known also as the Baron Gérard...

French 19th Century Romantic Period 1830s Parisian Lady Portrait Madame Seguin
By Adele Grasset
Located in Norwich, GB
A stunning portrait of a Parisian beauty from the romantic period by Adele Grasset (active ca 1830-1850). With her intelligent eyes and determined look, doesn't this lady bear great resemblance to Chopin's paramour George Sand?
The sitter is Jeanne Marie Vidal, wife of Claude Auguste Seguin, from a prominent family in Avignon, as the family tree attached to the back for the frame indicates. Research in old annals has also revealed that Madame Seguin was a modern and independent lady: she worked in lady's fashion in Paris, and patented wrapping mechanism that protected lady's hats during their transport!
As often with woman artists of the 18th and 19th century, there is little biographical information available on the artist, Adèle Grasset. We do know however, that she had studied with the highly prominent artist François Gérard (1770-1837) , known also as the Baron Gérard...

First exhibiting at the Royal Academy in 1904, Philpot was elected as an Academician in 1923.
