Marie Thérèse Duchateau, French 1870-1953- Portrait of a young woman, seated three-quarter length holding a flowering branch; oil on canvas, signed and dated 'T DUCHATEAU 22' (lower right), 46.5 x 38.4 cm. ARR. Provenance: Private Collection, UK. Note: The present work is characteristic of works by Duchateau, whose output consisted largely of portraits of solitary female figures. A highly affecting portrait which despite the unknown identity of the sitter conveys a powerful sense of her presence. The enigmatic quality of this scene is reinforced by the her abstracted gaze, engaging the viewer in an attempt to decipher the focus of her quiet contemplation. For a comparable portrait, in subject, pose, and softness of handling, see the artist's 'Portrait of a young girl,' executed in 1898, at The Musée des Beaux-Arts de Tours [no.D 1955-5-2]. 品相报告: Held in a gilded composition swept frame.
