Women Portrait Paintings

"Les Artistes du Cirque" is an original painting in ink, watercolor, and gouache on paper by leading Fauvist artist Kees Van Dongen, signed in the lower right. In the piece, two circus performers stand against against a wall. On the left, a pale woman in a blue leotard with red flowers on the shoulder stands with her arms crossed, looking out at the viewer. The painter fills in her tights with delicate white brushstrokes, lending them an almost iridescent appearance. Her strawberry blond hair is piled on top of her hair according to the fashion of the period. On the right, an African man stands in a vivid orange toga, looking somewhere off to the left. His feet are clad in bright white shoes...

Can we please lay out the tables now? Can we allow the days? Once more permit the rivers and oceans to lie in their beds? May I close my eyes and reach out, breathing normally again, certain that the sky is filled with birds, and that you will remain? Or shall we send me back into the grey-blue chambers of disconnection and hollow ambition? A strange card to the wail of the unseen host, somewhere in Africa across the fields, turning over an unfortunate card and laying them slickly in the firelight, winking in such dark, knowing eyes. I was passing at some distance, circled and charmed to all ends, painting the figure in place of any other kind of sustenance, yet distracted and possessed by one who would undoubtedly deny it. One who would claim to have never had my name. Shipping Procedure Ships in a well-protected tube from Nigeria This work is unique, not a print or other type of copy.

A group portrait of the Southwell family on the terrace with a negro page and Macaw. Oil on canvas Signed and dated 1731 Canvas size 25 x 30 ¼ inches 63.5 x 77 cms Frame exterior 32 x 37 ¼ inches 81 x 94.5 cms This evocative family portrait offers a glimpse into the life of 18th Century English nobility. The Southwells are a noble family whose roots go back to the early 17th Century. In 1776 Edward Southwell III was granted the Barony of de Clifford (a title in abeyance at the time), and the line extends to today, with the 28th Baron de Clifford sitting in the House of Lords. Charles Phillips (1708-1747) was a leading portraitist of his time, having painted many noble and royal portraits. Two of his paintings are part of the Royal Collection Trust. In this portrait, signed and dated 1731, we see Edward Southwell Sr (1671-1730) and his family on the grounds of their Estate, Kings Weston House near Bristol. On the far left is Mrs. Helena Le Grand (Edward’s sister). Next to her is Mrs. Southwell (Edward’s second wife, the first having died in 1709). On the right is Edward Southwell Jr (1705-1755), Edward’s son by his first marriage and next to him a “Negro Page” (in the euphemistic words of an old label on the painting; more on him below.) Phillips has arranged the figures in an arc, anchoring the composition. The arc stretches from Mrs. Le Grand’s red dress on the left, through the colourful parrot, onward to the heads of Mr. and Mrs. Southwell, down again to the younger Southwell and finishing on the right with the enslaved boy. As Edward Sr. died in 1730, this must be a posthumous portrait, making it especially poignant. (Presumably Phillips used another portrait to capture his likeness.) One can imagine the late Edward’s family looking affectionately at the portrait, remembering the time spent with him on the grounds of Kings Weston House. Southwell stands between wife and son, eyes directed toward one, hand pointed toward the other, symbolically balancing the needs of both. Devoted husband and father? Perhaps. Slave-owner as well. English noble families of the 18th Century often had financial and practical connections with the slave trade. The Southwells themselves were granted a tract of land by the Crown in 1766, which Edward Southwell III (1738-1777) – the son of the younger Southwell in the portrait – developed with partners into a plantation worked by slave labour. This portrait shows us that slave ownership was not always a matter for distant colonies. This young boy, likely deprived of his freedom from birth (born to enslaved parents), was made to serve the Southwell family in their home. We see him here sitting half cross-legged, wearing a house servant’s uniform and a faint smile. He gaze is turned upward; at first we think is looking at his Master, then we realise he must be in fact enjoying the sight of the parrot eating from the hand of his Master’s sister. Phillips has placed him on the ground, beneath the rest of the family in pose as in station. Yet here he is in this portrait just the same, as if he were a member of the family. Was the family fond of him? Was he a playmate of the younger Southwell? Or was he simply there in the Garden that day to serve them their refreshments? The answers to these questions must remain unanswered, known only to the sitters frozen in time by Phillips’ paintbrush. Three centuries later we are fortunate to have this portrait as a snapshot of 18th Century England, both its nobility and its baseness. Charles Philips, the son of a portraitist, likely acquired his artistic skills from his father. He specialised primarily in painting small portraits and conversation pieces. George Vertue observed that in painting small figure portraits and conversation scenes, Philips gained significant recognition and patronage among fashionable circles, including members of the Royal Family. In 1732, he produced conversation works for the Duchess of Portland and the Duke of Somerset. During the 1730s, his conversation pieces became increasingly complex, featuring more numerous subjects engaged in a greater variety of activities. Following the precedent set by contemporaries such as Philippe Mercier and William Hogarth, both prominent painters of small-scale conversation pieces, Philips transitioned into the more lucrative field of portrait painting later in the decade. His career peaked in 1737 when he painted full-length portraits of the Prince and Princess of Wales. The Prince of Wales was renowned for his patronage of the arts, particularly towards immigrant artists including Jacopo Amigoni and Philippe Mercier, who were principal influences on Philips. Two of Philips' paintings in the Royal Collection depict fashionable London clubs not recorded elsewhere. The first, from 1732, shows Frederick...

Carlo Ceresa (San Giovanni Bianco 1609 - Bergamo 1679) attributable Full-length portrait of Giacomo Pesenti Oil on canvas (206 x 121 cm - in frame 212 x 133 cm.) This fascinating portrait, portraying a full-length gentleman and datable to the 17th century, illustrates the stylistic and compositional details typical of the pictorial production of the Lombardy area, Bergamo in particular. This reference is reflected in elements such as the natural light, the sober and austere setting and, above all, the subtle psychological characterisation of the face. We are inclined to identify the hand of portrait painter Carlo Ceresa, one of the most illustrious Bergamasque figure painters of the 17th century, capable of developing a style of intense realism and acute psychological investigation. In his works, and our portrait perfectly reflects his canons, an extraordinary naturalistic imprint, great realism and remarkable essentiality are evident. Those traits of severity, moral rigour and austerity typical of his portraiture find a perfect balance here: never courtly or rhetorical, his portraits are profoundly linked to the concept of counter-reform. Immortalising the main personalities of the time, he established himself as a point of reference for the Bergamasque aristocracy, from the Vertova to the Pesenti to the Secco Suardo. The subject of the portrait is Giacomo Pesenti, here immortalised life-size in a rigorous black suit, his left hand resting on a table, on which is placed the necessities for writing and a manuscript, and his right hand, with a sealed ring on his little finger, abandoned along his side while he holds his gloves. He wears a suit of incredible rigour, dressed as befits a man of his high social standing, while the sharp light focuses on his face, with an intensity that seems to be accentuated by the reflection of the white collar, with its sharp profile. For Ceresa, it is not the richness of the garment that gives value to the person portrayed, it is the need to give feeling and bring out the character of the person, and this he succeeds in marvellously, aided by his ability to capture the essence of the person and return it to us in painting through the face and light used as a strong expressive element. In fact, the image highlights that 'counter-reformed' composure typical of the portraiture of painters active in this area and era, adhering to a verism...
