About the Item

A very well executed and suggestive view from and accenting the "derriere" of female nude lying in a semi fetal position on a sheepskin rug in front of a roaring fireplace. The nude has her head pointing and looking upwards puffing contentedly on a cigarette. A cup and saucer for coffee are shown in the foreground. A jug and washbasin plus a towel set on a Napoleon!!! Table off to one side of the fireplace plus other furnishings in the background place the scene as a late 19th century Parisian Belle Époque salon. The painting is signed De Groux on the bottom right hand side of the canvas but without any initials it is difficult to be definitive of who the artist actually was. The paining is presented in a fully restored period frame.

Signed Portrait of an Aristocratic Lady by English Victorian Artist Laurence Koe
By Laurence Koe
Located in Vancouver, British Columbia
A large and beautiful three quarter length portrait of a partly seated lady her hat over one arm holding a bouquet of flowers, the other arm held upward holding a branch of a tree. This original oil on canvas by the British artist Laurence Koe, (1863-1913), is signed on the lower right and dated 1905. Lawrence E. Koe was a portrait painter and sculptor. He is listed as living in Brighton when he first exhibited at The Royal Academy in 1891, but by 1894 he had moved to London where he appears to have settled for the remainder of his life. Koe exhibited widely; over twenty times at The Royal Academy, but also at the R.O.I, The Royal Society of Artists in Birmingham and the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool. Most of his exhibited works were portraits, and among his sitters were the wives of fellow artists Harold Speed RP (1872-1957) and Harold Piffard (fl. 1895-1899). In 1896 Koe exhibited “Venus and Tännhauser” at the Royal Academy, now in the permanent collection in the Brighton Museum and Art and he showed a painting of Sappho two years later. He clearly shows the influence of other artists working at the same time, notably Singer Sargent, Arthur Hacker RA (1858-1919) and Herbert James Draper...
