Lucien-Victor Guirand de Scévola Figurative Drawings and Watercolors
French, 1871-1950
Lucien-Victor Guirand de Scévola was a French painter. He was a student of Fernand Cormon and Pierre Dupuis at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. De Scévola's art is remarkable for his silky, velvety and smooth style. The very first part of his career was marked by symbolism, but he later developed his language, his Art Deco like bunches of flowers are the best known. He was also a great portraitist for the socialites and aristocrats of the period. He is also known for his pioneering leadership of the Camoufleurs (the French Camouflage Department) in World War I.

It is known that Guirand de Scevola was very interested in the Palace of Versailles and its Old Regime atmosphere, that he often painted it and that he participated in the Versailles Revival movement at the beginning of the century. This probably led him to paint scenes in the 18th century style, for which he was particularly well known and which are still sought after.
What is striking is the modernity of the execution of our pastel, which obviously contrasts with its subject in the style of the 18th century. Guirand de Scevoal is a great colourist and he proves it here with eclat, by building up his composition with white pastel highlights, contrasting with brown and black. There is something of the northern painters in this treatment of light. All this, as always with him, is very subtle. The light radiating from the window is almost an abstract notation, but it gives meaning to this interior scene.

He painted her several times, including in a pastel now held in the collections of the National Museum of Modern Art.
