Portrait Of Audoin Fouache d’Halloy
A fine 20th-century portrait of Lieutenant Audoin Fouache d’Halloy (1889-1948), an engineer hailing from Claville-Motteville, Normandy, France.
We've managed to track down a few threads of information via Audoin’s genealogy records and discovered that he was clearly a man of intellect. As an engineer, he filed multiple patents in France, Poland and Tunisia, including one for gearing technology. While, during the Second World War, he was decorated with the Croix de Guerre, which was usually awarded for gallantry.
But it wasn’t only his working life that was full of intrigue as he was married into a very important family. Following the end of his first marriage to Blanche Marie Roederer (b. 1899), in 1932, he was betrothed to Nazli Hadidje Hamdi (1893-1958). Nazli was the youngest child of the well-known Ottoman painter and intellectual, Osman Hamdi Bey (1842-1910), so you can imagine that their home was full of stimulating conversation.
Osman painted a beautiful portrait of his daughter and his works continue to be in high demand.
The more we’ve discovered about Lieutenant d’Halloy, the deeper the level of intrigue and it just goes to show that behind every portrait there are a thousand stories waiting to be told.
Medium: Oil on canvas
Size: 21⅔” x 18” / 55cm x 46cm
Year of creation: c. 1930
Provenance: Paris, France

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.
