Seated on the floor of what is almost certainly an opulent \u003cem\u003eriad\u003c\/em\u003e, the young woman wears an intricately embroidered Moroccan kaftan and headdress. The sumptuous patterns on the floor and in the background lend an additional warmth to the strikingly vivid red hues which dominate the composition and are a hallmark of Landelle’s work. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The symbol behind the young woman is the Islamic Seal of Solomon. Solomon is frequently mentioned in the Qur’an, with many descriptions of his esoteric knowledge granted by God. A talismanic scroll from the Islamic world bearing this symbol resides at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. While Islam was the dominant religion in Morocco in the 19th century, there was also a large Jewish population. Though the woman’s faith is uncertain, there is no question about her transcendent, captivating beauty, which is one of the most remarkable features of this painting. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Charles Landelle was born in 1821 in Laval, France. He studied under the supervision of the painters Paul Delaroche and Ary Scheffer at the School of Fine Arts in Paris and began exhibiting at the Paris Salon in 1841 with religious works and portraits that found great success among critics and visitors. Noticed by King Louis-Philippe, he won a third-class medal in 1842 and a first-class one in 1848. Four years later, Napoleon III purchased two pieces and appointed him Knight of the Légion of Honor. He also won a medal at the 1855’s Universal Exhibition and in Philadelphia in 1876. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Landelle’s career took a turning point in 1866 with a trip to Morocco. Infatuation with the warm colors he encountered inspired the trend toward Orientalism in his work. Fascinated by these brand new landscapes, the artist traveled across Egypt and the Nile in 1875, then traveled to Algeria in 1880 with his son Georges, also a painter. From 1881 to 1892, he spent winters in Algeria, sharing his love for the country with Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Paul Leroy. An active member of the Society of French Orientalist Painters, he participated in the creation of the Fine Art Museum of Laval, thanks to his donation of some of his works as well as ancient paintings. At the peak of his fame, he opened the museum in 1895 alongside French president Félix Faure. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Landelle’s works are well-represented in museums such as the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, the Palace of Versailles, and the Musée de Grenoble in Grenoble, France.

An Italian painter by birth who became a fixture in the Parisian Impressionist scene, Zandomeneghi is best remembered for his sentimental and affectionate scenes of women in both domestic and public spheres.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Zandomeneghi’s creative and technical prowess in composition is highlighted in this painting. The artist deftly frames the young pair in the lower register of the canvas, imbuing the work with a remarkably observational feel. The girls pensively gaze off to the right, lost in thought; Zandomeneghi allows the viewer to witness a natural moment of discussion and contemplation shared among the sisters. The soft palette employed by the artist gives the whole scene an atmospheric glow, with dappled rays of sunshine breaking through the lush foliage. Though the girls remain in the shaded areas of the landscape, Zandomeneghi’s skillful application of paint allows a brightness to remain nevertheless. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Federico Zandomeneghi was born in Venice to a long line of neoclassical sculptors. As if created to be an artist, Zandomeneghi began his artistic education early, enrolling in the Accademia di Belle Arti in Venice at just 15 years old before transferring to the Academy of Fine Arts in Milan. By 1862, the artist had arrived in Florence, where he became fast acquaintances with several Italian artists dedicated to executing landscape paintings \u003cem\u003een plein air\u003c\/em\u003e. Zandomeneghi embraced the spontaneity, seeking to bring unparalleled luminosity to his works. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When Zandomeneghi arrived in Paris in 1874, he found kindred spirits among the French Impressionists shortly after their first exhibition, sharing a common style. His close friend and artistic great Edgar Degas invited him to participate in four of the Impressionists’ later exhibitions. In the meantime, “Zandò,” as his French friends called him, began to form a relationship with the famed Durand-Ruel gallery in Paris, which hosted a solo show of his work in 1893. The year he painted \u003cem\u003eLes deux sœurs\u003c\/em\u003e, the acclaimed art dealer executed a contract with Zandomeneghi to show his work across Europe and the United States.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Today, many artworks by this Italian Impressionist reside in museums, including the Galleria d’Arte Modern in Palermo and the Palazzo Te in Mantua. Beloved for his serene compositions and impressionistic palette, Zandomeneghi remains popular in the market among collectors. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Dated 1895 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Canvas: 19 1\/4“ high by 15 3\/8” wide\u003cbr\u003e Framed: 27 1\/4“ high by 23 1\/2“ wide by 2 3\/4\" deep \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/rau-sfimages.s3.amazonaws.com\/dossier\/Dossier_31-5730.pdf\" target=\"new\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eView the Dossier\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This painting was exhibited at The European Fine Art Fair. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Provenance:\u003cbr\u003e Durand-Ruel \u0026amp; Cie, Paris, 1895, no. 3608 (purchased from the artist on December 23, 1895)\u003cbr\u003e Durand-Ruel \u0026amp; Cie, New York, no. 1582\u003cbr\u003e D.S.

This work, entitled \u003cem\u003eAu bord du ruisseau\u003c\/em\u003e, masterfully captures the subtle curiosity in the child's expressive eyes. It is this charming subject that charted his rise to one of the most celebrated and important painters in French Academy history. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In the painting, a young girl rests on the sandy banks of a river. Just having removed her bright red stockings, which lay carelessly crumpled in a pile to her left, she meets the eyes of the viewer. Her slightly flushed cheeks contrast the softness of her pale skin, emphasizing the beauty that comes with youth. In addition to his skill at rendering the human figure, Bouguereau also demonstrates his expertise in depicting botanical figures. The rocky outcrop contrasts the sharpness of the bulrush (\u003cem\u003etypha latifolia\u003c\/em\u003e) sprouting out from the sand. Although the impossibly smooth brushwork erases Bouguereau’s hand, his technical mastery of the scene is undeniable in the varying textures of her soft skin, the coarse linen of her dress and the crisp foliage behind her. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Internationally famous for his skill as a draftsman and painter of religious imagery, Bouguereau transitioned into painting genre subjects by the mid-1870s. Always keenly aware of what was trending with the art-buying public, Bourguerau became inspired by a broad cultural shift and the many summers spent in his childhood village, La Rochelle. In 1882, Bouguereau purchased a summer retreat in La Rochelle, allowing him to paint local models \u003cem\u003een plein air\u003c\/em\u003e before finishing his canvases in Paris. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Unlike other artists in the 19th century who documented the arduous lives of peasants toiling in the French countryside, such as Jean-Francois Millet, Bouguereau romanticized them. The wonderment of a childhood spent in nature, running wild and free, is celebrated across Bouguereau's oeuvre, making him an exceptional commercial success in his day. Collectors on both sides of the Atlantic had to wait two to three years to purchase one of his prized paintings.

In the late 19th century, American artists in France faced marginalization, with women encountering even greater obstacles. Yet Cassatt overcame these challenges, not through talent alone, but with extraordinary vision and unwavering perseverance. Created at the peak of her career, this exquisite composition coincided with her monumental mural commission for the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition, underscoring her pivotal role in both American and European art history. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Encouraged by her close friend and mentor Edgar Degas, Cassatt began experimenting with the medium of pastel in the early 1880s. Her mastery of the medium became one of the defining elements of her artistic legacy. \u003cem\u003eGirl with a Banjo\u003c\/em\u003e exemplifies her technical virtuosity in pastel, with its vibrant, explosive use of color and dynamic brushwork, enhancing the delicate rendering of the young musician’s pale skin and soft hair. The composition is alive with texture and movement, bringing the figure to life with remarkable immediacy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e By the early 1890s, Mary Cassatt had firmly established herself as the foremost American female artist, reshaping the role of women in art and society alongside fellow Impressionist Berthe Morisot. While earlier female artists often followed the stylistic conventions of their male peers, Cassatt and Morisot distinguished themselves by focusing on the lives of women, depicting them as active participants in their domestic and personal spheres. In 1891, Cassatt was commissioned to create a large mural for the Woman’s Building at the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair. Her monumental work, Modern Woman, spanned 54 feet by 14 feet and explored the expanding roles of women in modern society. A central figure in the mural depicted a woman playing the banjo—an instrument associated with African American culture and considered unconventional for women—highlighting Cassatt’s bold statement on women’s growing autonomy and their evolving place in the world. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e During this period, Cassatt produced several works of women playing the banjo, many of which were preparatory studies for her mural. \u003cem\u003eGirl with a Banjo\u003c\/em\u003e stands as one of only two complete works on this subject, with the other belonging to the collection of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. This particular pastel is widely regarded as the finest of her surviving banjo-themed works. Unfortunately, Cassatt's mural for the World’s Columbian Exposition was lost after the fair, likely destroyed in a warehouse fire, leaving works like \u003cem\u003eGirl with a Banjo\u003c\/em\u003e as rare surviving testaments to this significant phase of her career.

This work reveals Morisot's evolution toward her softer, richer textures compared to her earlier energetic brushwork, creating a hazy, dreamlike quality that mirrors the emotional world of the artist in the final years of her life. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Fourmanoir was one of Morisot’s favorite subjects, frequently appearing in Morisot's iconic masterpieces, most notably as a cherry picker in \u003cem\u003eLe Cerisier\u003c\/em\u003e of 1891, now at the Musée Marmottan Monet. Our painting depicting this famed model also has distinguished provenance, once belonging to the major American collectors Ralph Coe of Cleveland and Harry and Doris Rubin of New York. Its remarkable exhibition history includes the important 1896 Durand-Ruel exhibition, organized shortly after Morisot's death by her distinguished peers: Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Stephane Mallarmé. An incredible tribute to one of Impressionism's most visionary talents, this show was a grand event in the Parisian art scene. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Born in Bourges, France, in 1841, Berthe Morisot came from a wealthy family. Like many young girls of her social class, she received private art lessons beginning at the age of 11. Her teacher, the painter Joseph Guichard, helped to introduce her to the Parisian art scene. Through him, Morisot made the acquaintance of Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot and Édouard Manet, both of whom would have a profound impact on her career and artistic style. Morisot exhibited regularly at the Paris Salon from 1864 to 1873 until, in 1874, she officially joined and became a vital leader of the Impressionists, exhibiting in all but one of the eight Impressionist shows. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Today, Morisot's paintings remain some of the rarest Impressionist works on the market—she produced just 416 oil paintings, significantly less than Monet, Degas and Renoir. The majority of Morisot’s works are held in prestigious museum collections worldwide, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Tate Modern in London, the Musée du Louvre and the Musée d’Orsay in Paris. She has also been the focus of endless scholarship and landmark exhibitions, including a major retrospective at The Barnes Foundation in 2019 that traveled to the Musée National des Beaux-Arts du Québec, the Dallas Museum of Art and the Musée d’Orsay. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Painted 1892 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Canvas: 25 1\/4\" high x 31 1\/2\" wide (64.14 x 80.01 cm)\u003cbr\u003e Framed: 35\" high x 41\" wide x 2 3\/8\" deep (88.90 x 104.14 x 5.91 cm) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/rau-sfimages.s3.amazonaws.com\/dossier\/Dossier_32-0999.pdf\" target=\"new\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eView the Dossier\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Provenance:\u003cbr\u003e C.W.
