Jean Baptiste Discart, Portrait Of A Lady
A beautiful half-length portrait of a lady with a yellow rose by well-known orientalist painter, Jean Baptiste Discart (1856-1944).
This style of low-cut dress became popular among the rising classes during the late 19th-Century. It was regarded as highly controversial by a stoic older generation as it drew attention towards a young lady’s décolletage - particularly with the addition of a rose. But perhaps the degree of disapproval only served to make the fashion even more attractive.
Jean Baptiste Discart studied at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts under German classical painter, Anselm Feuerbach (1829-1880). In 1884, he exhibited at the Paris Salon and his works have reached up to £270,000 at auction.
We believe that this early portrait was created in 1879 during his time in Austria, two years after leaving the Academy. It bears all the hallmarks of a young and confident emerging artist looking to establish himself during one of the most exciting times for art.
Please refer to the blog article on our website for further background and provenance.
Medium: Oil on canvas
Size including frame: 33” x 26” / 84cm x 67cm
Year of creation: c. 1879
Condition: Towards the bottom there are two small areas of paint loss and one of these is indented. There are no repairs, holes or tears and the paint seems to be very stable. There's an area of white towards the top of the canvas which isn't due to to wear and is likely to be original. Perhaps the previous frame covered this area. The current wooden frame is newer and in good condition. Brave Fine Art is a boutique art dealership based in the picturesque Malvern Hills, England. Established in 2017, our clients include private collectors and interiors designers throughout the UK, USA and Canada.
We tend to focus on decorative art that captures the imagination - from monumental 17th-century portraits through to characterful vintage landscapes. Every piece in the collection has an interesting story to tell and we work hard to discover the hidden history behind each one.

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.
