Emile Charles Dameron, The Young Shepherdess
A beautiful oil on canvas depicting a young shepherdess watching over her flock by notable French realist, Emile Charles Dameron (1848-1908). With aptitude and a deft touch, Dameron has captured a delicate rural moment within a picturesque French landscape.
The main focal point is a young shepherdess that’s glancing down affectionately towards an inquisitive sheep. Her expression is one of quiet contentment as she rests her left hand on a moss-covered rock.
At her feet, the earth is awash with red flora, which arises from the dense grass and seems to wrap itself around the scene. While in the background, a series of small buildings are lit under an exquisite graduated sky. Each of these are little more than a few bright daubs of paint.
Dameron was born in Paris and trained under Léon Germain Pelouse (1838-1891) and the Barbizon school painter, Constant Troyon (1810-1865). He exhibited regularly at the Paris Salon, achieving a medal in 1881, and this rural scene is a good example of his work.
He’s primarily known for his accurate depictions of peasant life and won the Troyon prize in animal painting at the École des Beaux Arts. Many of his works are held in galleries worldwide and a small portrait recently sold at Sotheby’s for £8,057.
The painting is housed within a handsome 19th-century Rococo revival frame with swept corners and foliate decoration.
Signed in the lower right.

Artist’s auction highlight: £11,900 achieved at Sotheby’s, USA, in 1996 for L'étang de Saint-Cucufa (150cm x 220cm).

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.
