Raymond Billet, Chicago, Illinois; by descent in family Note: "Looking closely at the overall study of Salon La Plantation d'un calvaire, the silhouette of a young girl appears behind the young woman who is holding the hand of a little girl. She is in white, holding a piece of blue fabric on her bent arm. The attitude of the face in profile, raised towards the sky as well as the long hair decorated either with a net or with small discreet flowers, seems to be linked to that of the painting of this little girl. Curiously, this white silhouette of a young girl disappears in the final painting of the Salon La Plantation d'un calvaire, which could suggest that either she is shown with a different headdress and clothes or Jules Breton chose to make an independent painting, hence this study of the little girl." -Annette Bourrut Lacouture Brunk Auctions would like Mrs. Annette Bourrut Lacouture, Marie-Isabelle Pinet, and Agnes Penot for kindly confirming the authenticity of this painting from a photograph. It will be included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonne of the painter's work.

Upon the occasion of the painting's sale in 2004, Christie's noted that "this work has been authenticated by Annette Bourrut-Lacouture and will be included in her forthcoming catalogue raisonné, Jules Breton, Painter of Peasant Life." During the late nineteenth century, an era marked by rapid industrialization and urbanization, Jules Breton's bucolic subjects were widely admired for their portrayal of rural life in France. The artist's rustic pastoral scenes depicted a simpler time, offered a reassuring sense of tradition and continuity, and championed the poor and laboring peasant class, for whom the artist had a deep affinity and admiration. Breton's first official artistic recognition came in 1855 for The Gleaners (National Gallery of Ireland), followed soon afterwards with a silver medal at the 1857 Salon for The Blessing of the Wheat in Artois (Musée des Beaux Arts, Arras), which was purchased by the French State. Throughout the ensuing decades, Breton's success continued unabated with awards, critical accolades, and enthusiastic patronage both in Europe and abroad. The artist's works were particularly sought-after in America following the Civil War, leading Breton to quickly become the most popular French artist across the Atlantic. In 1877, Samuel G. W. Benjamin wrote that "popular and artistic opinion is more united in favor of the merits of Jules Breton than upon any other living painter" ( Contemporary Art in Europe, New York, 1877, p. 92). For Breton and his contemporaries, the agricultural region of Brittany provided the ideal backdrop for scenes of peasant life, as it does in the present work. The province became a popular destination for artists and tourists alike, when the first railway line from Paris was completed in the 1860s, because the traditional way of life there remained relatively unchanged and thus exceedingly picturesque. Age-old methods of farming and fishing were still in use, and Breton peasants, particularly the women, continued to dress in their distinctive traditional attire with bonnets, aprons, and wooden shoes. Douarnenez, a commune in western Brittany, was the location of a centuries-old fishing port, which provided the artist's inspiration for the present work. Painted in 1878 at the height of the artist's career, Jeune pêcheuse bretonne, Douarnenez depicts a young fisherwoman at end of her work day seated upon the rocky shore. Captured in a moment of reverie, the girl rests her chin on the end of her fishing pole, the fading warm late afternoon sun illuminating one side of her face. Since she is backlit by a sky nearing dusk, which glows near the horizon, the young Breton fisher girl is presented in near-silhouette, a very difficult visual effect to paint. By this period Breton's technique was marked by looser brushstrokes and more casual poses of his sitters, qualities that may have derived from the influence of the Impressionists, whose contemporaneous artistic innovations favored freedom of execution over a more static academic approach. A superb draughtsman and colorist, Breton utilized subtle gesture and muted color to create a tranquil mood in this poetic composition. As is the case with most of his peasant scenes, Breton does not dwell on the hardship of girl's labor in this work, opting instead to evoke a more poetic im

Est: €4,000 - €6,000
Jules BRETON Courrières, 1827 - Paris, 1906 Les vendangeuses, étude pour 'Les vendanges à Château-Lagrange' Huile sur toile (Toile d'origine) Signée 'Jules Breton' en bas à droite The pickers, study for The pickers at Château-Lagrange, oil on canvas, signed, by J. Breton h: 44 w: 32 cm Commentaire : En 1862, Jules Breton a 35 ans et il a déjà une réputation officielle brillante de peintre de la vie des champs lorsqu'il rencontre le comte Duchâtel à Paris, propriétaire des 'Sarcleuses' exposées au Salon de 1861. Souhaitant leur offrir un pendant, il convie le peintre à son domaine de Château Lagrange pour observer et peindre une scène de vendanges, tableau qui sera exposé au Salon de 1864 et est aujourd'hui conservé avec son pendant au Joslyn Art Museum à Omaha (fig. 1). Dès son arrivée à Château Lagrange, Jules Breton écrit à son épouse combien il est frappé par " l'admirable type de femmes " rencontré la veille sur un marché bordelais : " Elles ont, tu sais, ce caractère que je rêve toujours pour mes tableaux. Des traits dont la grâce n'exclut pas une énergie un peu sauvage, des contours d'une grande pureté… 1". Durant ce premier séjour, qui se termine en novembre, il réalise une composition qui satisfait les Duchâtel, mais nos 'Vendangeuses' appartiennent sans doute aux travaux réalisés lors d'un second passage en 1863, plus calme et propice au travail. Tout au long de ces séjours, il observe beaucoup, réalise des portraits et étudie dans de nombreux carnets de croquis les scènes de vendanges. Cette jeune femme est à rapprocher de la figure centrale du tableau final, avec son visage très régulier, allongé et fin entouré d'un foulard libre, sa silhouette droite et ses gestes simples, gracieux et très naturels. Le paysage qui l'entoure, ainsi que les deux vendangeuses penchées sur les vignes, valorise cette figure sous un ciel harmonieux et une lumière méridionale très délicate. Elle porte ici une tenue assez austère, son paletot étant toutefois plus ouvert que dans le tableau du Salon de 1864. Une anecdote surprenante et amusante appartient à l'histoire de cette œuvre : lors son exposition au Salon, le public lui fit bon accueil mais lui préféra la 'Gardeuse de dindons' également présentée par Breton cette année-là (Collection particulière, Etats-Unis). Il décida alors en 1865 d'éclaircir son tableau des Vendanges et la jupe de la figure centrale, de noire qu'elle était comme sur l'étude que nous présentons, devint rouge. D'autres travaux préparatoires à cette vendangeuse sont connus dont un petit portrait en ovale récemment réapparu². Une autre composition similaire à la nôtre, mais avec un visage différent, moins proche du portrait ovale et du tableau du Salon, est répertoriée dans les archives du musée d'Arras. Nous remercions Madame Annette Bourrut Lacouture de nous avoir aimablement confirmé l'authenticité de ce tableau et pour son aide à la rédaction de cette notice. Ce tableau sera inclus dans le catalogue raisonné de l'œuvre du peintre actuellement en préparation. 1. Lettre du 17 septembre 1862, citée par A. Bourrut Lacouture in cat. exp. 'Jules Breton.

Jules Adolphe Aimé Louis Breton (French, 1827-1906) Contentment (Homme au repos au Cabaret) Oil on canvas 15-3/4 x 12-1/2 inches (40.0 x 31.8 cm) Signed lower left: Jules Breton PROVENANCE: Collection J. C. Harter; Christie's, London, April 26 1890, lot 20; Collection Foster, acquired from the above; Friedenberg-Carr, May 4, 1950, lot 25; The Carnegie Book Shop, New York, acquired from the above; Private collection, New York. Regarding the present painting, Annette Bourrut Lacouture notes: "The [everyday] subject, manner, and palette of Contentment are close to the painter's works during the period of 1848-1855, [corresponding with] the Realist Movement. The [seated] man is wearing the work blouse of Courrières-- la roulière. (The mention on the reverse of J. Boyard/Toiles et couleurs/Rue de Buci, 15./Paris is interesting since it is the same part of the city where the young painter had his first studio, 53, rue Notre-Dame des Champs.)" We would like to thank Madame Bourrut Lacouture for providing catalogue information and for confirming the authenticity of this lot. This work will be included in her forthcoming catalogue raisonné of the artist's work. HID01801242017
