Skippings Fine Arts has dated this piece to the 1950s.
A Parisian “School of Paris” artist, often called “the painter of the human comedy”, Dauchot admired Maurice Utrillo and Chaim Soutine. He studied with Yves Brayer and Othon Friez and received enormous acclaim, being regarded as one of the most important artists of his generation.
In 1951 — not long before our picture was painted — Dauchot was awarded the Prize of the Society of Art Collectors. In spite of his young age, he exhibited at the prestigious galleries Durand-Ruel and Katia Granoff in Paris.
Internationally, his work was shown at the Hattfield Gallery in Los Angeles, the Juster Gallery in New York, the Carel Gallery in Miami, and the O’Hana Gallery in London.
Former French president and avid art collector Jacques Chirac praised Dauchot’s work in a speech. Please request our recent article/biographical note on the artist.
Our Harlequin is a very fine little gem measuring 27 x 16 cm. It is presented in a narrow gold frame. The work is signed upper right.
