AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Small oil painting of a genre scene featuring a peasant girl with a basket of flowers on her head from the mid-19th century. This miniature is painted in oil on paper by Jean-Baptiste Marie Fouque (Arles, July 2, 1819 – April 11, 1880). He is also known under the name Jean Marius Fouque or Marius Fouque. Fouque was a French painter who specialized in portraits and mythological subjects. Here, he used a pastoral theme with a peasant girl playfully looking over her shoulder.
The oval painting is signed on the left side of the stone block with a signature engraved in the wet paint. The entire piece is framed in a gilded wooden frame behind glass.
Fouque's first art exhibition took place in 1846 and resulted in a steady stream of commissions for the government of the Second French Empire. He mainly worked as a copyist for the Ministry of State and created portraits of both Emperor Napoleon III and Empress Eugénie de Montijo, as well as many foreign nobles and royal persons, such as Princess Tatiana Alexandrovna Yusupova of Russia. In 1864, he was appointed 'painter to the King of Siam' and painted portraits of King Mongkut (Rama IV) based on photographs, including one for the Siamese pavilion at the 1867 World's Fair in Paris. He also made a copy of Jean-Léon Gérôme's The Reception of the Siamese Ambassadors, which was gifted by Napoleon III's government to Mongkut.
