Thanks JWC I work hard to keep my followers happy. This painting sold at Christies ‘Russian Works of Art & Fabergé’ sale for $1,195,830. Together with the pair of boxing gloves used in the composition.
Actually, the painter's last name is Somov. Konstantin Andreevich Somov - or Somoff, French-style. He was a wonderful artist; I'm so glad this piece did so well at auction. I love this painting, which is a lot more straightforward than much of his work. He did a lot of really very racy watercolors...!
I'm a antique dealer and Historical Folk artist. I created this blog to document and highlight my artwork along with my day to day life as a Artist, Antique dealer and collector. My favorite two periods in history are France's Ancien Régime, the time of French Queen Marie Antoinette 1770-1789 and the antebellum period of the American South 1830-1860. Both of theses periods ended tragically with war. I intend to explore furniture, architecture, decorative arts, culture, history, fashion and the people that made up these two fascinating periods in time. I recently moved back to my roots of Mobile, Alabama after living away for 17 years. Come and explore the restoration of my turn-of-the century Art's and crafts bungalow into a Antebellum show place.
oh my god. you find the most amazing paintings! This is one of my favorites.
