Portrait of a Young Frenchman Dated 1914.

1900 - 1920
Description

Charming portrait of a young Frenchman dated 1914. Painted in oil on canvas, a half length seated portrait of a cheerful and relaxed looking young man with a thin moustache, smartly dressed and wearing a beret of the long droopy type with silk brim worn by artists and intellectuals (rather than the more prosaic farmer’s type). With his elbow resting on the back of a chair he holds his pipe loosely in his hand. Architectural elements in the background, a window and doorway perhaps. Subject and artist are unknown but it is signed L.Devaux in the upper left hand corner together with fateful date 1914 and the rather poignant inscription ‘In memory of our happy hobbies’. With some surface cracking to the paint, presented unframed on the original stretcher.

Dimensions: width 24", height 28½".

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
