Description
A statement still life scene from the studio of Cecile Hertz-Eyrolles (1875-1974). Blue fabric with a pink floral motif drapes elegantly behind a large bronze statuette of Narcissus and a delicate bouquet of carnations. The composition has been beautifully housed in a large antique gilt frame. Unsigned. Provenance: Studio Sale of Cecile Hertz-Eyrolles, Cachan, Paris. On board.
Condition: Signs of wear consistent with age. Small scuffs and marks to the surface of the painting. Minor staining and warping to the board (lower right-hand corner). Various chips and scuffs to the heavy gilt frame, most noticeable on the outer edge. Inspection under UV light reveals no restoration.
Biography: Cecile Hertz-Eyrolles was a French painter, born in 1875. She travelled extensively throughout Italy in her youth with her family, visiting both public and private art collections. Her first art lessons began under Lucien Levy-Dhurmer, and she went on to study at both the Academie Carriere and the Academie Julian alongside Henri Matisse. Eugene Carriere, a well-connected painter of the fin-de-siecle period, was close friends with Auguste Rodin and gave her both great encouragement and creative freedom.
While travelling around Brittany, Belgium, and London with a close circle of artistic friends, including the Belgian painter Marguerite Putsage and the sculptor Louis-Henri Devillez, she began exhibiting at the artistic societies on her doorstep in Paris including the new Salon d'Automne, the Salon National des Beaux-Arts, and the Salon des Artistes Indépendants. In 1906, she married Leon Eyrolles, politician, entrepreneur, and future mayor of Cachan near Paris, where the pair created their elegant Art Deco home and studio. Leon founded the first Ecole Speciale des Travaux Publics, a leading engineering school in France.
The French art historian Henri Focillon wrote the foreword to her solo catalogue at the Galerie Charpentier in 1939. After the death of her husband in 1946, Hertz-Eyrolles sadly lost the desire and will to paint, and her studio remained untouched until her own passing in 1974. Hidden for decades, this fine collection of highly accomplished works in oil has now emerged for the first time.
