SWISS ENAMEL TOBACCO BOX IN 14K GOLD WITH MINIATURE, GENEVA, 19TH CENTURY

A rare octagonal tobacco box crafted from 14K gold, created in the second half of the 19th century in Geneva, in the workshop of Pierre Girard. This piece exemplifies high-level jewellery craftsmanship, combining miniature enamel painting, guilloché engraving, and refined ornamental detail. The central element of the hinged lid features an enamel miniature depicting a romantic scene in the gallant style. The composition is finely rendered and enclosed within an oval frame of opaque sky-blue enamel, adorned with neoclassical floral motifs. The sides of the case are decorated with a guilloché pattern beneath translucent enamel, enhanced with white enamel ribbon-like waves.

The tobacco box reflects the harmony of proportion and technical perfection characteristic of the Geneva school.

FERNAND RENAULT (1887 - 1939). “THE LOVING COUPLE” FRANCE, 1930S

FERNAND RENAULT (1887 - 1939). “THE LOVING COUPLE” FRANCE, 1930S

A large-scale work by Fernand Albert Renault that reveals the key artistic principles of the master during his mature period. The painting demonstrates the characteristic synthesis in Renault’s oeuvre of classical compositional structure and a free, vigorous painterly manner shaped by the influence of Fauvism and the Paris School of the interwar years.At the center of the composition lies a nude couple placed within a natural coastal landscape. Renault constructs the scene according to a balanced diagonal rhythm: the luminous female figure, rendered in broad, vibrating strokes of ochre and rose tones, forms the principal plastic accent of the foreground. The male figure, treated in denser, more saturated brown and olive hues, establishes a tonal contrast and intensifies the dramatic interplay of light and shadow.For Renault, color functions as an independent expressive force. In this composition, the scarlet, emerald, and lemon accents of the draped fabrics do not merely describe objects, but rather create the emotional atmosphere of the painting. The foliage and openings of sky are resolved in free patches of pigment that evoke moving air and the pulsation of sunlight.The background scene, depicting figures subduing horses, carries particular significance. This motif recurs in Renault’s work as a symbol of vital energy and masculine initiative. Within the context of this painting, it enters into a meaningful dialogue with the intimate foreground scene, reinforcing the themes of attraction, strength, and inner impulse.Unlike academic treatments of the nude, Renault avoids cold idealization. His figures exist within the realm of color and light rather than anatomical display. Corporality is conveyed through the plastic mass of the brushstroke, where color replaces line. This characteristic allows the work to be situated within French Neotraditionalism of the 1930s, which sought to preserve figuration while rejecting excessive academic rigidity.The artist’s signature appears in the lower right corner.Dimensions: Canvas 99 x 132 centimeters. Frame 128 x 163 centimeters.Material: Oil on canvas.Condition: Good. The paint layer is stable and without significant losses. The frame shows natural signs of age.Provenance: Private collection.
