Malarz głównie włoskich nastrojowych krajobrazów i może dlatego mało popularny jest w Polsce.

Plaża Henryka Haydena pojawiła się po raz pierwszy na rynku od ponad 100 lat. Licytację rozpoczęto od 240,000 GBP i jak widać po wyniku zainteresowanie nią było spore. Druga praca, martwa natura z kwiatami w wazonie ustawionym na krześle, nie zdołała się przebić przez cenę rezerwową i spadła z ofertą 38,000 GBP.

Podobną pracę Magdaleny Abakanowicz, Black Balls V, sprzedał Phillips pół roku temu za ponad 57,000 GBP: https://polishartcorner.com/2023/10/12/magdalena-abakanowicz-1930-2017-35/ przy estymacji 50,000 – 70,000 GBP. Czym te dwa obiekty różnią się skoro obecnie estymacja Black Balls VI a zatem i jej ocena jest dużo, dużo niższa? Licytacja obiektu rozpoczęła się od 10,000 GBP i sprzedano go za 15,000 GBP. Frapują mnie te dwie wyceny i ceny sprzedaży.

Prace Tamary Łempickiej z końca lat 20-tych i lat 30-tych odbiegają stylistycznie i tematycznie od tych tworzonych póżniej. Ceny i zainteresowanie odzwierciedlają tę różnicę.

Obraz ten jest opisany w Anglii jako olej na płótnie. W katalogu Rempexu, był opisany został jako pastel na kartonie. Porównując obie fotografie, te prace niewątpliwie wyglądają identycznie. Kto tutaj jest niekompetentny? Niezależnie od tego drobnego problemu, kompozycja Wygrzywalskiego z modlącymi się Arabami na pustyni była replikowana w tylu wariantach, że obecnej nie pomaga wcale fakt, że artysta umieścił tutaj swoja podobiznę. Jednostkowych, dobrych i nie replikowanych prac Wygrzywalskiego jest mało na rynku. Ta praca nie budzi mojego zachwytu.
Lot 86. Elisabeth Jerichau Baumann (b. Warsaw 1819, d. Copenhagen 1881). The artist’s daughter Sophie (1859–1944) with a green bow in her red-blonde hair reading a book.

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.

Nationalromantikkens enfant terrible”, Frydenlund, 2018, ill. p. 273. The present painting is a study for a larger painting in a private collection with the title “Fra Capri. To Capri-Piger bærende Foder til Gederne” (From Capri. Two Capri Girls carrying forage for the goats) from 1880, which was exhibited at Charlottenborg 1881 as no. 363. Estimate 30,000 – 40,000DKK.

Lot 128. Elisabeth Jerichau Baumann (b. Warsaw 1819, d. Copenhagen 1881). A fisherman courting a young woman on the beach. Signed and dated Elisabeth Baumann Jerichau 18[??]. Oil on canvas. 69×55 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
Lot 126. Elisabeth Jerichau Baumann (b. Warsaw 1819, d. Copenhagen 1881). “La pensierosa” (The thoughtful one). An Italian girl with a tambourine. Signed and dated Elisabeth Jerichau Baumann 1875. Oil on canvas laid on canvas. 47×47 cm.
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.
Literature: Jerzy Miskowiak, “Elisabeth Jerichau-Baumann. Nationalromantikkens enfant terrible”, Frydenlund, 2018, ill. p. 266. Jerzy Miskowiak, “Elisabeth Jerichau-Baumann”, Bosz, Poland, 2020, ill. p. 133. The present painting, dated 1875, is depicted in both books, but here, the painting has been mistaken for the one exhibited in 1871.

Lot 120. Elisabeth Jerichau Baumann (b. Warsaw 1819, d. Copenhagen 1881).

Signed and dated Elisabeth Baumann Jerichau 1869 pinx Constantinople. Oil on canvas. 70×54 cm.
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.

Provenance: Master of the Royal Hunt, Baron Preben Vilhelm Bille Brahe (1852–1924) and his wife Baroness Anna Sophie Elisabeth Bille Brahe neé Brun (1855–1930). In their time the painting was located at Svanholm Manor. Thence by descent. Bruun Rasmussen auction 888, 2019 no. 26, ill. p. 46. Estimate 60,000 – 80,000DKK. Rasmussen. 03/04/24. Passed
