Description

A dashing lady lying in a field, in the late summer of 1912: this is a very modern and interesting work, painted with a distinctly fauvist palette that is tempered by impressionism.

The artist is Jean Léon Plumet (1871-1939), who certainly had no idea at the time that less than two years later, he would be fighting in the war.

Plumet exhibited at the Salon d'Automne, the Salon des Indépendents and at the National Society of Fine Arts. Numerous works by the artists are in French Museums such as the Museum of Macon, the French National Library, the Museum of Puteaux, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Troyes.

Our oil on canvas is signed and dated at the lower right and measures 46 x 55 cm. The overall framed size is 63 x 72 cm.

FAQs

Fauvism is characterised by strong painterly qualities and arbitrary use of colour directly from the tube, often establishing a sense of deliberate dissonance and emotional intensity.

These works typically utilised oil pigments applied to stretched linen or cotton canvas, supported by wooden stretcher bars and often framed in moulded plaster or wood.

Authentication involves examining canvas weave, stretcher construction, pigment composition under magnification, artist signatures, and provenance documentation.

Vintage paintings add depth and historical contrast to modern spaces; they can be hung simply in minimalist frames or integrated into a gallery wall to create a focal point.

Keep paintings away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity levels, avoid touching the painted surface, and consult a professional conservator for cleaning or varnish removal.
