Text of the page (random words):
n 1857 with the sittings recorded at bad kissingen and brückinau in late july 1857 it would be no exaggeration to state that the portrait became one of the most beloved images of the empress being popularised through versions copies and prints directly after or inspired by the portrait portraits of the emperor s father emperor nicholas i and of the emperor s grand mother empress maria feodorovna wife of pavel i by other artists can also be distinguished on the walls the two winterhalter portraits sandwich a later portrait of the empress maria alexandrovna by heinrich von angeli who would later succeed winterhalter at the british court as one of queen victoria s favourite portrait painters it is believed that the two winterhalter portraits had remained in the emperor s study at the winter palace which was left untouched following his assassination in 1881 both portraits were loaned to the celebrated exhibition of portraits from russian private collections which took place at the tauride palace in 1905 and curated by sergei diagilev they also appear to have featured in the exhibition celebrating the tercentenary of the romanov dynasty in 1913 following the revolution of 1917 the portraits were nationalised with the rest of the imperial collections and have entered the collections of the state hermitage dr eugene barilo von reisberg 17 july 2019 posted on july 17 2019 categories uncategorized leave a comment on winterhalter s portraits in vintage photographs winter palace portrait of clémentine de boubers baronne renouard de bussierre 1854 by hermann winterhalter sotheby s paris portrait of clémentine de boubers baronne renouard de bussierre 1854 by hermann winterhalter sotheby s paris the aformentioned auction featured a portrait of mélanie de pourtalès s sister in law clémentine de boubers baronne paul renouard de bussierre 1829 1861 by the hand of hermann winterhalter the baroness is painted at the age of 25 at just over half length posed frontally with her face in semi profile to the right she is wearing an evening gown of white satin over a lace edged under blouse with white silk bows at the sleeves and the waist apart from the corsage of pink roses and a golden wedding band at the base of the ring finger the baroness wears no other jewellery or visible decorations the provenance of the portrait is unclear the portraits of the sitter her husband and her sister are framed identically suggesting that they were at one stage in the same collection as clémentine and her husband had no children it is likely that their portraits may have passed to her sister in law mélanie de pourtalès and thence by family descent to christian comte de pourtalès at château de martinsvart from whose collection it was offered at collection schickler pourtalès art et pouvoir au xixe siècle by sotheby s paris on 16 may 2019 clémentine s white dress may suggest that the portrait references her marriage two years prior the three states of the roses wilting blooming and budding are quite unusual in the context of a formal portrait and may indicate hermann winterhalter s own allegoric and moralising touch the lack of jewellery broadly corresponds with the prevalent depictions of french aristocracy in the middle of the nineteenth century and especially during or shortly after the second republic it also may indicate the sitter s personal piety and the lack of ostentatious tastes reflective of her protestant faith offered with the estimate of 30 000 40 000 the portrait appears to have found no buyers although hermann winterhalter may have been as talented as his celebrated older brother his art market performance remains relatively modest dr eugene barilo von reisberg 16 july 2019 posted on july 16 2019 categories art market catalogue

baronne renouard de bussierre 1854 by hermann winterhalter sotheby s paris winterhalter s portrait of mélanie de bussière comtesse de pourtalès 1857 sotheby s paris it is always a thrill when iconic works by franz xaver winterhalter turn up on the art market while transferring the custodianship they test the strength of the market and re invigorate the collectors following such was the case with winterhalter s portrait of mélanie de bussière comtesse de pourtalès 1838 1913 of 1857 at the sale collection schickler pourtalès art et pouvoir au xixe siècle by sotheby s paris on 16 may 2019 lot 59 the understated beauty of the portrait the delicate colour scheme the vigorous and unrestrained brushwork as well as the willingness of its various owners to lend it to exhibitions made it one of the most famous and most beloved of winterhalter s portraits its various artistic and aesthetic aspects are a fitting illustration to the artist s enduring reputation as one of the most sought after elite portrait specialists of the era aged barely nineteen the countess is painted standing in a semi turn to the right against a loosely executed verdant background portrayed almost en face her gaze is directed at the viewer she is wearing an evening gown of white satin edged with azure ribbon and lace and with matching bows of azure silk on the sleeves and the bodice the date of the portrait suggests that it was commissioned to commemorate mélanie de bussière s marriage to edmond comte de pourtalès gorgier 1828 95 although she became the wife of one of the richest men in paris she wears no jewellery save for a wedding band and a small gem set ring reflective perhaps of the personal modesty of the sitter while the authorship of the portrait is beyond doubt the signature may have been overpainted and or added by a different hand over the last 162 years of its existence the portrait appears to have always remained in the family passing between various branches and belonging to various descendants of the countess moving between their homes in paris strasbourg and cherbourg the excellent condition of the portrait its lustre as one of the most iconic works by the artist as well as the added cache of continuous family ownership all played their magic estimated at 120 000 150 000 the portrait sold for 732 500 or roughly us 821 500 it was widely rumoured that the city of strasbourg was fundraising to secure this picture as well as that it may have been secured by another member of the family while the rumours have not been confirmed and the identity of the new owner has not been released one humbly hopes that such important work was acquired for a public collection dr eugene barilo von reisberg 9 july 2019 posted on july 8 2019 july 8 2019 categories art market

pourtalès 1857 sotheby s paris winterhalter s portrait of a lady believed to be louise freiin von freystedt comtesse olympe aguado 1834 98 roseberys of london another fascinating portrait that recently graced the walls of an auction house represents an unknown lady in an elaborate low cut evening dress of white tulle and satin richly decorated with lace and with a lace shawl thrown over the crinoline skirt she is most sumptuously bejewelled with earrings a two strand pearl necklace a gem set star shaped brooch bracelets on both arms including a gold bangle with emerald and pearls and gem set rings on her fingers most notably she is holding a lorgnette with an elaborately decorated gem set handle the portrait is signed but not dated stylistically it fits among the artist s portraits from the late 1850s to the early 1860s such dating corresponds with the hairstyle á l impératrice and the elaborate crinoline skirt the identity of the sitter remains a mystery the label on the reverse of the painting suggests that the portrait represents a member of the aguado family the lady in the portrait looks to be in her early to mid twenties the only member of the aguado family who fits the age of the sitter is berthe freiin von freystedt 1834 98 who in 1860 married count olympe aguado painted by winterhalter in 1852 a photo of comtesse olympe aguado in the archives of musée d orsay bears similarity with the lady in this portrait especially in the outline of the brow the nose and the jawline other photos show her with a similar hairstyle and one of the photos also shows her wearing glasses further research is required to confirm convincingly the identity of the sitter and the history of the ownership of the portrait estimated at 30 000 50 000 the portrait was sold for a comparatively modest sum of 28 000 the portrait is given a provisional number 635 in the current version of my catalogue raisonné dr eugene barilo von reisberg 3 july 2019 posted on july 6 2019

painted en face her light brown eyes look upwards her gaze transcends the picture plane her light brown hair is dressed with a wreath of ivy leaves with garlands of green and purple acacia style flowers she is wearing a low cut evening gown of white tulle edged with lace and decorated with an ivy leaf corsage a tasseled cream coloured shawl thrown over her right shoulder and the right arm completes the countess s toilette she rests an elbow on her knee with fingers lightly supporting her chin unusually for a portrait of a russian noblewoman in winterhalter s oeuvre the countess appears to be wearing no jewellery the portrait clearly forms a pendant to the portrait of the sitter s husband count pavel shuvalov 1860 oil on canvas private collection cat no 687 illustrated in the previous post both portraits are carried out in a similar oval format are roughly of the similar size and are framed identically as such this is perhaps one of the very few known pendant portraits by winterhalter of non royal sitters the auction catalogue did not provide clear provenance for the portrait while further research is still required it is highly possible that both portraits were at one stage in the demidov collection until its dispersal by christie s in 1934 estimated at eur 80 000 120 000 the portrait sold for eur 150 000 demonstrating that the prices for winterhalter s portraits
