Julie MANET (1878-1966) - Lot 78
Julie MANET (1878-1966) Model in red, circa 1900 Oil on canvas Height : 73 cm ; Width : 60 cm a) On the reverse of the canvas at the top, handwritten chalk inscription: "Gobillard 2". b) On the middle horizontal bar of the stretcher: handwritten chalk inscription: "Manet" (upside down) c) Idem: Handwritten inscription in pencil: "en dessous / toile de Julie modèle en rouge / les deux toiles ont collé". d) Ditto: Canvas and color dealer's stamp (illegible) The work was executed in the 4th-floor apartment on rue de Villejust, where Julie Manet and her cousin Jeannie Gobillard have lived together since Berthe's death, under the authority of their eldest daughter, Paule Gobillard. They ingeniously reproduced the mantelpiece as Berthe Morisot had arranged and painted it in her studio salon on the second floor: "The mantelpiece, in a Saxony vase are a few chrysanthemums surrounded by bronze candelabras with a white marble base, what a pretty still life on this mantel marbled in all colors." (Julie Manet, Diary, 1896). Like Morisot, the cousins painted in the living room, only to have the canvases disappear into the closets. The inscriptions on the reverse, indicating that a canvas painted by Paule had adhered to one painted by Julie, are no doubt the result of their collective practice. Provenance: Former ROUART-MANET collection. Expert : Élisabeth MARÉCHAUX | CABINET MARÉCHAUX.
