Est: £200 - £300
Louise Jane Jopling, RBA, British 1843-1933- Head of a young woman, possibly a self-portrait; oil on panel, signed 'Louise Jopling' (lower left), backed by a copy of The Times, 8 November 1890, 20.9 x 12.7 cm. Provenance: with J.S. Maas & Co., London. The Property of the Late Reverend John Watson. Note: Jopling initially worked as 'Louise Romer', using her first husband's surname, until her marriage to the Vanity Fair artist Joseph Middleton Jopling in 1874, at which point she began to sign her work 'Louise Jopling'. Jopling travelled to Paris in the 1860s, where she studied under Charles Joshua Chaplin (1825-1891), and later under Alfred Stevens (1823-1906). Jopling enjoyed the support of Baroness Charlotte de Rothschild (1825-1899) and her husband Nathaniel de Rothschild (1812-1870), and was closely associated with some of the most significant figures in 19th-century society, including John Everett Millais (1829-1896), James McNeill Whistler (1834-1903), and Oscar Wilde (1854-1900). Alongside Lucy Kemp-Welch (1869-1958), Jopling was elected to the Royal Academy of British Artists in 1902, making them the first women to be allowed access into the institution.

Est: $12,000 - $18,000
Louise Jopling (British, 1843-1933) A modern Cinderella, 1875 Oil on canvas 36 x 27-7/8 inches (91.4 x 70.8 cm) Signed and dated lower left: Louise Jopling / 1875 PROVENANCE: Private collection, Pennsylvania, acquired as a wedding gift, 1922; By descent through the family to the present owner. EXHIBITED: Exposition Universelle, Paris, 1878. LITERATURE: Clara Erskine Clement and Laurence Hutton, Artists of the 19th Century and their Works, Boston and New York, 1894, Vol II, p. 17. Louise Jopling was a leading female artist in London in the late 19th century, and travelled in the most advanced and distinguished artistic circles of her time. Born in Manchester, England, Jopling studied in Paris under the romantic portrait and landscape painter Charles Chaplin, who was unusual in only accepting female students. The celebrated American impressionist Mary Cassatt was also one of his pupils. Under Chaplin's tutelage, Jopling was able to study anatomy from nude models—something that would have been impossible for women artists in Victorian England. The 19th century art world was still a male preserve, so Jopling did suffer from gender discrimination. In 1883 she sought a portrait commission for 150 guineas, but lost it to Sir John Everett Millais, who was paid 1000 guineas for the same project. Nonetheless, Jopling was a versatile artist and exhibited her work alongside male professional artists to considerable critical acclaim. Her paintings were exhibited at the Royal Academy, the Philadelphia Exposition in 1876, and The Palace of Fine Arts and The Woman's Building at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois. She joined the Society of Women Artists in 1880 and the Royal Society of Portrait Painters in 1891; she became the first woman to be admitted to the Royal Society of British Artists in 1901. And her portrait was later painted by John Everett Millais and James McNeill Whistler, another figure noted for his preference for training women artists. In fact, it was at a party at the Joplings' house in 1883 that Whistler had a now- famous exchange with Oscar Wilde. In response to a witticism of Whistler's, Wilde remarked, "How I wish I had said that." Whistler replied, "You will, Oscar, you will." Jopling exhibited A modern Cinderella at the third Paris World Fair in 1878. In this very compelling image, we see Jopling reviving the familiar tale of Cinderella—unjust oppression followed somehow (through hard work or happy accident?) by triumphant reward. In the middle foreground lies the requisite shoe that proves the figure's identity; while she hangs up her gown the clock, reflected in the mirror, strikes 12. In the right foreground lie her black boots and day clothes draped on the chair. Despite the scattered narrative fragments throughout the painting, we still cannot read its meaning with any real certainty. Also reflected in the mirror is the artist's easel, suggesting this might be the artist's studio. Did Jopling cast herself as Cinderella in this constructed scene? Is she the artist and the model? Might this be a self-portrait, depicting herself in the aesthetic dress of the Pre-Raphaelites? Is she alluding to a feeling of diminished success as a female artist, removing, as it were, the more costly frock? In the end, Jopling challenges the viewer, who has just entered her room, to become the arbiter of the unfolding and ambiguous narrative for which there is no single interpretation. HID01801242017
