19th Century Pair of Cassolettes in Marble and Gilt Bronze

19th Century Pair of Cassolettes in Marble and Gilt Bronze

We present you with this set of exquisite cassolettes from the Napoleon III period. Crafted from Pyrenean marble, specifically the Bénou Breccia kind, and enhanced with gilded bronze embellishments representing acanthus leaves and grape motifs, these cassolettes are not highly decorative thanks to the ornate nature of the marble and its accompanying decor, but they also showcase superb craftsmanship and gold detailing. They would make a perfect choice for adorning a mantelpiece alongside a clock or positioning on a dresser on either side of a bust. They belong to the late 19th-century period.

Sybille with turban and fruit bowl, Oil on canvas, 19th century

Sybille with turban and fruit bowl, Oil on canvas, 19th century

This sensual painting depicts a silk-turbaned Sybille carrying a bowl of fruit (peaches and grapes) and richly dressed in a light white linen chemise, a luxurious fuchsia-pink tunic and a royal-blue cape. She is adorned with gold jewels and precious stones.In a way, its fair to say that this richness contrasts with her ingenuous, gentle gaze: her radiant youth is as unsettling as her frontal, piercing gaze. Her graceful, serene face contributes to the paintings peaceful aspect.This painting is attributed to an artist who admired the Dominiquin and the Guerchin. Indeed, the two Italian painters produced numerous versions of these women, whose silk turbans adorned with gold and precious stones were a reminder of their oriental origins, and who were destined to prophesy the coming of Christ. We can also see a fantasy portrait of a woman in which the painter demonstrates his mastery of chiaroscuro, with contrasts softened by his knowledge of Venetian painting.Painting without frame:Width 90 cm x height 102 cm
