Shelton Oil Portrait aft.Harlamoff The Arrangement
We are offering for sale this large and rather beautiful portrait Oil on Canvas of The Young Flowergirl by the artist Shelton, who has signed the painting in the lower right hand corner. The young girl, possibly in her early teens, is sitting barefoot on the floor, next to a large wicker basket from which a profusion of roses in cream, peach and salmon are spilling out. To her left are more roses in a darker salmon hue and she appears to be making a garland. She is wearing an olive green dress, with a cream underblouse with loose long sleeves and a patterned apron that echoes the pattern on her sleeves. She has long dark hair pulled loosely behind her ears and tumbling down her back. She has the look of a young Italian girl.
After some research, we have discovered that this painting is after a painting entitled 'The Arrangement' by the Russian artist Alexei Alexivich Harlamoff 1840-1925. The Arrangement was sold by Christie's in 2008 for £713,250 and anyone wishing to know more about it, can find the sale details on google. It is believed that the original was painted circa 1885. Here is a short section from an essay about the artist:
'The son of serfs, and a native of a poor village in the province of Saratov, Harlamoff's own talent and dedicated work led to recognition and material prosperity. He was acquainted with many of his leading contemporaries - Ivan Turgenev and Emile Zola, Louis and Pauline Viardot, Petr Tchaikovskii, Ilya Repin, Aleksei Bogoliubov, and others. After graduating from the St Petersburg Imperial Academy of Arts, Harlamoff was sent to Europe to complete his apprenticeship. The young artist spent much time studying the paintings of his favourite Old Masters with special diligence, carefully copying their works according to the Academy's instructions. Among contemporary artists, he elected to study with Léon Bonnat, the well-known master of 'women's heads' he chose Paris as his base.
In the 1870s, Harlamoff, who was constantly exhibited at the Salon, became well known and received numerous commissions. His art studio in the Place Pigalle in the artists' quarter, as reported by the correspondent of the Russian journal 'Novoe Vremya', was crammed with finished works as well as sketches and studies of their elements, demonstrating his scrupulous approach to his work. Another contemporary critic wrote: 'Something ethereal, elegant and tender emanates from Harlamoff's heads'. These words apply equally to the visual composition of his The Arrangement. Sitting half turned, the young girl is deeply absorbed in her hand she holds a graceful bouquet of just-picked flowers and an upset basket of flowers is at her left. The girl's figure, demurely clothed in white with red patches on the sleeves of her blouse and a grey-blue pinafore and apron, is drawn as an elegant and beautiful silhouette on the background of a grey wall laid down in detail, contrasting with the dark curve of the doorway in the background. These same 'street decorations' surrounding the flower girl are repeated in Children Playing with Flowers (Serpukhov Art Historical Museum, Alexei Harlamoff, Catalogue Raisonné, pl. 178) and other works of the second half of the 1870s and the 1880s.'
You will notice that the colouring of the original has variations from our painting and is slightly larger being 29" x 41", while ours is 24" x 36", but the origin is unmistakeable. As to the artist of this painting, who signs Shelton, we have found a large number of Sheltons, but are unable to say which, if any, of these is the artist of this pastiche.
The painting has been newly framed in a 4 1/4" gilt bronze ornate frame, which tones beautifully with the painting. It will be supplied wired and ready to hang.
Image size: 34 3/4" x 23" - 88.4cm x 58.4cm
Frame size: 43 3/8" x 31 1/2" - 110.25cm x 80cm
Medium: Oils on canvas
Condition: Very good. The canvas is clean and taut and there is no craquelure or stretcher marks. The frame is new.
