Jean-Gabriel Domergue: Elegant Woman in a Veil, circa 1930: (signed) (Watercolor, gouache, and black chalk on paper)
Jean-Gabriel Domergue (1889–1962)
Elegant Woman in a Veil, circa 1930
Watercolor, gouache, and black chalk on paper
Signed lower right in blue: Jean Gabriel Domergue
Dimensions: Viewing area 27 × 22 cm (10.6 × 8.7 in.) — Frame 42.5 × 37 cm (16.7 × 14.6 in.)
Condition: Examined while framed under glass; only the visible portion is visible, with the edges of the sheet and the reverse side hidden by the mat. The paper is uniformly yellowed. A few minor surface irregularities in the upper background, consistent with the paper’s grain. Slight rubbing of the black chalk in the area of the veil. Fresh colors; blues and reds have not faded. Presented in a molded gilded wooden frame with a white mat; the frame shows scuffing and areas where the gilding is missing along the outer edges and at the corners, revealing the red gesso. Framed.
Description: A work from the interwar period, predating the mass production of elegant Art Deco pieces in the postwar era. Winner of the 1913 Grand Prix de Rome, the artist later directed the Musée Jacquemart-André.
