Jan Chełmiński. NAPOLEON AND PRINCE PONIATOWSKI’S ARMY DURING THE RUSSIAN CAMPAIGN IN 1812

Wystarczy, że pojawiła się kompozycja Jana Chełmińskiego z Napoleonem i księciem Józefem Poniatowskim by cena estymacyjna niedużego obrazka poszybowała do 30,000 dolarów (co prawda kanadyjskich). Napoleon wraz z Poniatowskim to częsty motyw pojawiający się w pracach tego malarza – chyba był spory popyt na te prace u Polaków w Kanadzie i w USA.

Lot 98. Jan van Chelminski (1851-1925), Polish. NAPOLEON AND PRINCE PONIATOWSKI’S ARMY DURING THE RUSSIAN CAMPAIGN IN 1812. Oil on canvas; signed lower right, 17.5 ins x 22.5 ins; 44.5 cms x 57.2 cms. Estimate $20,000-$30,000. Waddington’s. 11/25/21

Provenance: A Danish manor house. Bruun Rasmussen auction 850, 2014 no. 73, reproduced p. 79.

The three charming children are seen standing on a country road on a lovely summer day. In the background, to the left of the group, is the edge of a forest, and on the right a pond; in the distance a large body of water. The big brother and little sister look at the viewer with a curious glance. The middle child looks back over his right shoulder. It is pure idyll. One might wonder, if they are on Frydendal/ Torbenfeld’s estate, close to the manor house itself, which is beautifully located on an islet in the lake.
The eldest, Frederik (1870–1948), who is depicted here in a black velour suit and bright red socks, took over the estate and changed the name from Frydendal to Torbenfeld. Harry, who is seen in a purple velour suit and short white socks, became a diplomat, and for a period a Danish envoy in Egypt. The little sister Katie (1874–1878), dressed in a white lace dress with red ribbons, died when she was only 4 years old. Estimate 100,000–150,000 DKK. Rasmussen. 11/30/21. Not sold
