Attributed to Anacharsis Fourcade (French)
Est: $600 - $800
Attributed to Anacharsis Fourcade (French, b. 1813), "La Poissonnière (The Fish Monger)", oil on wood panel, signed "Fourcade" lower right, 16 1/4 in. x 10 1/2 in., period frame. Note: Born in France, Anacharsis Fourcade taught drawing and painting before immigrating to the United States in the 1840s. Traveling throughout the South, Fourcade visited numerous cities; ads in period newspapers cite his painting skills and offer painting lessons in the artist's new and beautiful system of Monochromatic Painting. Fourcade is known to have lived in Charleston, South Carolina, Wilmington, North Carolina, and Louisville, Kentucky. In 1848 in Montgomery, Alabama, Fourcade married Eliza Ferguson, originally from Georgia. It is unknown if there is a familial relationship between Anacharsis Fourcade and artist Joseph Fourcade, born c. 1775 in France, who worked in New Orleans from 1818-1820 painting portraits and miniatures. The current lot exhibits a composition and brushwork typical of mid-19th century France, with a romanticized portrayal of a woman selling fish. In addition, the palette displays the monochromatic color scheme Fourcade described in his newspaper advertisements, with the chiaroscuro prevalent in French Romantic works. Ref.: Alabama Marriage Indexes, 1814-1935. The Tri-Weekly Commercial. Wilmington, NC. February 19, 1847, 3. Karel, David. Dictionnaire des artistes de langue française en Amérique du Nord. Quebec: Les Presses de lUniversité Laval, 1992.
