Rysunki, które większość współczesnych artystów nie potrafi naszkicować. Tematyka, którą obecnie mało kto się zajmuje i ceni bo niest modna. Wyciszenie atmosfery, której obecnie nie ma. Warto wracać do ‘starej’ sztuki i szukać w niej dobra. Wielu ma chyba podobne myśli skoro 33 razy podnoszono cenę w trakcie licytacji i sprzedano ten mały rysunek znacznie powyżej estymacji.

Elżbieta Baumann nie zawsze sygnowała swoje prace. Jedną z nich właśnie sprzedano w Danii. Obraz nie musi być sygnowany by był prawdziwy.

Prace Elżbiety Baumann nadal nie są w Polsce popularne. Ta konkretnie może nie należy do poszukiwanych ale warto zwrócić uwagę na jej inne oleje. Jerzy Miśkowiak napisał o artystce książkę i warto do niej wrócić (omawiana w dziale Books na PAC) bo w przyszłości pojawią sie jej bardzo dobre prace.

KIlka prac Elżbiety Baumann było licytowanych w Danii z umiarkowanym sukcesem. Dwie najlepsze sposród nich (lot 86 i 126) zostały sprzedane. Artystka w Polsce jest mało popularna pomimo, że Jerzy Miśkowiak starał się rozpropagować jest osobę w postaci albumu/biografii. Ta książka, wydana w wydawnictwie Bosz, jest reklamowana na blogu w dziale Book Reviews.

Lot 125. Elisabeth Jerichau Baumann (b. Warsaw 1819, d. Copenhagen 1881). A woman from Capri, Italy, carrying twigs on her head. Signed and dated Elisabeth Jerichau 1879. Oil on canvas. 50×39 cm.

Remains of an exhibition label on the frame.  Elisabeth Jerichau Baumann has dealt with the motif several times. In 1863 she exhibited the painting “The Danish fisherman’s courtship” at the Royal Academy in London. In this, a fisherman, hanging over a window sill, is seen courting a young woman who is sitting inside repairing a fishing net. The figures are very similar to those in the present painting, while the scene/setting is different. A version of the aforementioned from 1873 is also known. Estimate 80,000 – 100,000DKK. Rasmussen. 03/04/24. Not sold

An earlier version of the painting probably also exists. In 1871, Jerichau Baumann exhibited a version along with a number of other paintings of children at The Royal Danish Galleries in New Bond Street, London. In this connection, the Art Journal wrote: “La pensierosa, the girl with the tambourine and with Italian characteristics […] is the true triumph of painting.” (quoted from Jerzy Miskowiak, “Elisabeth Jerichau-Baumann. Nationalromantikkens enfant terrible”, Frydenlund, 2018, p. 266). This painting was also exhibited at Charlottenborg 1874 no. 119.

Catherine Angèle Cristich was born in Constantinople, but later settled in France, where she was also married for the second time to Otto Louis Henri Ullmann (1838–1911).

Elisabeth Jerichau Baumann went on many trips across Europe throughout her life, and she was also one of the few Danish artists in the 19th century who travelled to the Orient. During the winter of 1869–1870 she went alone to both Constantinople, Athens, Smyrna, Alexandria and Cairo, and she returned to this part of the world again in 1874–75. Through her great network, she gained access to a harem in Constantinople as one of the first female painters ever. In 1881, she published the book “Brogede Rejsebilleder” (Motley Images of Travel), here she wrote about her experiences during the travels, life in the harem, and the people and customs she met.

Literature: Elisabeth Jerichau Baumann, “Brogede Rejsebilleder”, 1881, mentioned p. 19, where she describes how she, in a leather sack hidden on her chest, carries eighty gold pieces, which she has received as payment for the portrait of “Madame Ullmann”, while she, among other things, visits a Turkish cafe.
