Description

Circa 1890. Oil painting on canvas, signed top right in its original gilt frame.

88cm x 69cm including the frame.

Otto Vautier the Elder: (Born Germany 1863 died – Switzerland 1919). An abstract portrait and figure painter, best known for his lovely paintings of semi-nude women.

Otto Vautier is a virtuoso of all techniques, from oil to pastels, from pencil to charcoal and watercolour. Master of light, but above all a painter of intimacy, the diffuse sensuality of his models arouses reverie.

A man of great beauty and distinction, a Baudelairean dandy, the son of a very famous painter, Otto Vautier loved women and he loved painting them. He loved Geneva, where he chose to live, and which he illustrated in large allegorical panels, one of which is entitled "the triumph of beauty", where the woman has the capital role of indicating the way of arts at the City of Calvin.

Under the influence of his painter friend Ernest Biéler, he also became a member of the "École de Savièse", a loose grouping of painters who had settled or worked temporarily in the small Valais village.

Date of Manufacture

Kendall House Antiques Ltd. has dated this Antique Oil Painting to the 1890s.

Nineteenth century painting encompasses various movements from academic realism to early impressionism, frequently focusing on naturalistic rendering of light, shadow, and human anatomy.

Authentic period artworks typically utilise linen or cotton canvas stretched over wooden stretcher frames, painted with linseed oil-based pigments and housed in gilded wood or composition frames.

Authentication involves examining the canvas weave, inspecting the ground layer and pigment oxidisation through magnification, checking for period-appropriate stretcher construction, and verifying signatures or maker marks.

An antique portrait adds focal gravity when hung against textured walls, balanced with minimal modern furnishings to create a sophisticated dialogue between historical depth and contemporary lines.

Preservation requires stable indoor humidity levels, avoidance of direct sunlight to prevent pigment fading, periodic dusting with a soft dry brush, and professional conservation for cleaning or varnish removal.
