Jules Adolphe Aimé Louis Breton (French, 1827-1906)Jeune pêcheuse bretonne, Douarnenez, 1878Oil on canvas laid on board22-1/8 x 14-1/2 inches (56.2 x 36.8 cm)Signed and dated lower right: Jules Breton 1878 PROVENANCE:Henry Reinhardt, New York, by descent, 1918;Paul Watkins, Winona, Minnesota, acquired from the above;Christie's, New York, October 27, 2004, lot 130;Christopher-Clark Fine Art, San Francisco, California;Private collection, Las Vegas, Nevada, acquired from the above.Upon the occasion of the painting's sale in 2004, Christie's noted that "this work has been authenticated by Annette Bourrut-Lacouture and will be included in her forthcoming catalogue raisonné, Jules Breton, Painter of Peasant Life."During the late nineteenth century, an era marked by rapid industrialization and urbanization, Jules Breton's bucolic subjects were widely admired for their portrayal of rural life in France. The artist's rustic pastoral scenes depicted a simpler time, offered a reassuring sense of tradition and continuity, and championed the poor and laboring peasant class, for whom the artist had a deep affinity and admiration. Breton's first official artistic recognition came in 1855 for The Gleaners (National Gallery of Ireland), followed soon afterwards with a silver medal at the 1857 Salon for The Blessing of the Wheat in Artois (Musée des Beaux Arts, Arras), which was purchased by the French State. Throughout the ensuing decades, Breton's success continued unabated with awards, critical accolades, and enthusiastic patronage both in Europe and abroad. The artist's works were particularly sought-after in America following the Civil War, leading Breton to quickly become the most popular French artist across the Atlantic. In 1877, Samuel G. W. Benjamin wrote that "popular and artistic opinion is more united in favor of the merits of Jules Breton than upon any other living painter" (Contemporary Art in Europe, New York, 1877, p. 92).For Breton and his contemporaries, the agricultural region of Brittany provided the ideal backdrop for scenes of peasant life, as it does in the present work. The province became a popular destination for artists and tourists alike, when the first railway line from Paris was completed in the 1860s, because the traditional way of life there remained relatively unchanged and thus exceedingly picturesque. Age-old methods of farming and fishing were still in use, and Breton peasants, particularly the women, continued to dress in their distinctive traditional attire with bonnets, aprons, and wooden shoes. Douarnenez, a commune in western Brittany, was the location of a centuries-old fishing port, which provided the artist's inspiration for the present work.Painted in 1878 at the height of the artist's career, Jeune pêcheuse bretonne, Douarnenez depicts a young fisherwoman at end of her work day seated upon the rocky shore. Captured in a moment of reverie, the girl rests her chin on the end of her fishing pole, the fading warm late afternoon sun illuminating one side of her face. Since she is backlit by a sky nearing dusk, which glows near the horizon, the young Breton fisher girl is presented in near-silhouette, a very difficult visual effect to paint. By this period Breton's technique was marked by looser brushstrokes and more casual poses of his sitters, qualities that may have derived from the influence of the Impressionists, whose contemporaneous artistic innovations favored freedom of execution over a more static academic approach. A superb draughtsman and colorist, Breton utilized subtle gesture and muted color to create a tranquil mood in this poetic composition. As is the case with most of his peasant scenes, Breton does not dwell on the hardship of girl's labor in this work, opting instead to evoke a more poetic image of youthful wistfulness. HID12701242017
A Louis XV style low cupboard, Maison KriegerRosewood and other timbers veneers Fine marquetry decorative composition of floral arrangements to front and sides Pink marble top, one door and gilt bronze hardware Stamped "Maison Krieger" France, 19th centuryMaison Krieger In addition to being one of the most renowned French furniture makers from the second half of the 19th century, Maison Krieger was also the reminiscence of the French ebeniste Antoine Krieger’s vision who, in 1826, set up his business in association with his brother Nicolas Krieger, in the Paris area of the Faubourg Saint-Antoine, specifically at number 17, Rue de Saint-Nicolas. After various moves and premise changes, by 1850, and already using the mark Antoine Krieger & Cie., the company was again registered in the same street but at number 76. With rightful presence in the various great industrial exhibitions, held both in Europe and in the United States in the second half of the 19th century, his work particularly stood out at the 1851 Great Exhibition in London, where Krieger was awarded a 2nd class medal, and again in 1853, in the New York Exhibition, where he presented a now iconic piece of furniture with carved medallions, depicting medieval deer hunting and falconry scenes. Following from Antoine Krieger death in 1856, his firm and workshop were inherited by his sons in law, Claude-Julien Cosse, and Henry Racault who, together, maintained and developed his vision and artistic purpose. Set as a cooperative, the company changed its name and stamp to Cosse-Racault et Cie. (Ledoux-Lebard 1984, 390). Four years later it registers a new name and stamp mark, once again recovering the founder’s name and becoming A. Krieger et Cie. or A. Racault et Cie. From 1880 onwards the furniture stamps will once again be changed to Damon et Cie. as well as “M(ais)on Krieger Ameublement Paris” (LedouxLebard 1984). Pieces of furniture produced in the first decade of the 20th century feature the mark DUVIVIER PARIS 77 FG-ST ANTOINE, associated to Maison Krieger, a detail evidencing the fact that the company was then operating from premises at number 77 of Faubourg Saint-Antoine. Being one of the most successful furniture manufacturers in 1800s Paris, Krieger created and exhibited furniture in the most varied styles. In their store customers could find high quality copies of furniture from the previous century, particularly much in demand reinterpretations of the Louis XV and Louis XVI stiles. Simultaneously, Maison Krieger did also develop important contemporary pieces that adopted a particular type of hybridism with the past, but reflecting the new Napoleon III taste, such as is the case of the cabinet we are presenting for sale at Veritas. In production up to the early 1920s, Maison Krieger’s furniture was also present at the 1900 Paris Universal Exhibition, in which the ebeniste François Linke (1855-1946) displayed the excellence of his production as can be assessed by the exceptional pieces designed for that event, now at the Casa-Museu Medeiros e Almeida in Lisbon (Inv. FMA9).Tiago Franco RodriguesLiterature: Christopher Payne, 19th Century European Furniture, Antique Collectors´Club, 1985
