Louis Joseph Pottin, 19th C. Portrait Of A Lady
A fine late-19th-century portrait of a fashionable society beauty by French artist, Louis Joseph Pottin (1849-1930). She’s wearing a sumptuous black and red dress with gigot sleeves and holding a pair of brown silk gloves in her right hand.
She sits with confidence and draws attention to the rich red velvet and white embroidery of her outfit. She’s every inch a society lady and lived during such an exciting time for fashion.
It’s believed that she could be Marguerite Stern (née Fould), the wife of successful Parisian businessman, Edgard Stern. The Fould family is of French Jewish descent and known for its success in banking.
Louis Joseph Pottin was an artist surrounded by talented portraitists who were no doubt in high demand. He was trained by the great Carolus Duran (1837-1917) who also taught John Singer Sargent (1856-1925). Duran encouraged his students to draw and paint simultaneously using a modified brush, which was a radical approach at the time.
As a sign of respect, Sargent produced a stylish portrait of his teacher in 1879 - a work which is currently in the Met, New York.
This portrait is signed in the upper left and it’s a beautiful museum quality piece which would grace any wall.
Medium: Oil on canvas
Size including frame: 28” x 36½” / 73cm x 93cm
Year of creation: c. 1890
Provenance: France
Condition: One professional patched repair but generally very good. Examination under UV shows a few small areas of restoration but nothing major. It’s been treasured.

Terms and conditions
Please be assured that we inspect every painting, drawing or print to check for issues relating to its condition during its time here with us. When we notice a fault or potential problem, we will note this down on the item's condition report, which can be found within each listing. We take various steps to ensure that your artwork will stand the test of time but we're unable to offer any warranties or guarantees as we're just one custodian in a potentially long line of previous owners.
Our inspections include a check for any signs of woodworm, historic or otherwise, as this is not unusual in antique frames or stretchers. If we discover any small holes, we treat the wood with a solution which states that "its deep penetration ensures effective protection for many years and prevents re-infestation". With this in mind, it's very unlikely that any future issues will occur, especially given that the wood may also have been treated by previous owners. However, as mentioned above, we are unable to provide any warranties or guarantees - just be assured that we care.
Also, many of the paintings include hanging equipment, namely wire or string. Sometimes this is already present when we purchase an item so we check to see if it's been attached correctly. However, we can't test the durability of this equipment as many of the paintings are sold quickly. So please do seek any advice if you're unsure how to hang your paintings correctly, especially if they're heavy, and do check on them from time to time.
If you have any questions at all, please just ask.
