Description

An exquisite example of the work of French genre scene painter, Alexandre Soldé (1822–1893). The scene shows two ladies of society, dressed in elegant attire of the late 18th Century. They are strolling past a ramshackle, cottage with their dog. An old woman peers outer of her window, surprised to see such elegant women, wandering in such a rural setting. One woman holds a dainty parasol, the other appears to be checking their directions on a map. The painting has the beautiful Romanticism of early 19th Century French painters, harking back to a time of opulent luxury of the 18th Century. The softly falling light casts dappled shadows on the scene and picks outer the taffeta and other rich fabrics of the women's clothes in crisp, vibrant detail.

The artist has signed to the lower left corner and the painting has been presented in a fine 19th Century frame with piastre strap work at the outer edge, fluted cove with acanthus leaf motifs at the inner corners and beaded strap work at the inner window.

On re-lined canvas.

Condition

The condition is typical for a picture of this age including some discolouration to the varnish. The canvas has been fully re-lined. There is some craquelure to the surface. Inspection under UV light reveals no restoration. The frame has a 20th Century gilt finished applied which has tarnishing and surface dirt. There are several losses to the molding at all edges and some splitting to the interior corners.

Biography

Alexandre Soldé (1822–1893) was born in Angers, France. He was a pupil of Léon Cogniet at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He exhibited at the Paris salon between 1844 and 1868. Several of his drawings were included in the exhibition "Pilgrimage to Watteau," held in 1977 at the Hotel de la Monnaie in Paris. He painted many fans and sketched numerous copies of Watteau's "L'Indifférente" (The Casual Lover).

About Sulis Fine Art Your browser does not support the video tag.

Sulis Fine Art traces its origins back four generations. Benjamin Diamond opened a picture framing factory in Midtown Manhattan in the early 20th century. Originally known as Royal Art, the business worked closely with artists and museum institutions, developing a reputation for creating fine frames. Royal Art passed through the family and eventually evolved into Sulis, now run by Benjamin's grandson Bill, and his son Dan.

Based in the South West of England, we source art from across the British Isles and ship worldwide. We handpick all our stock and we've grown into a ten-strong team of art historians, photographers, restorers, studio technicians and despatchers.

We relocated to our Corsham studio in early 2020, leaving behind our small garden workshops in Bradford-on-Avon that had been our base for several successful years. Now located on the edge of the Cotswolds, our current home allows the team to work alongside our large catalogue of artworks, allowing us to provide you with fast global shipping and top-notch customer service. We are always striving to connect people with the art they love.

Each week we add new artworks to our extensive catalogue, across all styles, subjects, colours and periods. At the heart of Sulis, we rescue and restore lost and forgotten works, giving you the opportunity to find unique pieces and discover art in a new and different way.
