Beitrag zur Kunstgeschichte, II/1, Hofheim/Taunus 1979, 4th reprint, p. 103, no. 33 Leopold Carl Müller was one of the most important Austrian artists devoted to Oriental painting. The "Egypt-Müller", as he was called, first came to the country on the Nile in 1873. His fascination with the Orient was to remain with him throughout his life, as he visited Egypt a total of eight times in the years that followed, usually spending the winter months there. He was fascinated by the country and its people, which is why he did not paint a distorted picture of the Orient, as it was popular in the West - with harem scenes, seductive odalisques or slave markets - but tried to depict an authentic Orient. The simple life of the Egyptian population in the towns and villages as well as the desert landscapes bathed in bright sunlight were his themes. In addition to his figurative scenes, Müller also created a long series of portraits of Egyptian people. Our portrait, which was sold at the artist's estate auction, stands out in its particularity. The androgynous appearance of the young model makes it difficult to classify whether she is a girl or a boy, but the title "Hamida" indicates that she is a young woman. The stern, frontal depiction, her eyes with the strong brows, the full lips and her serious gaze are fascinating. Formally, the portrait is perfectly composed and also captivates with its exquisite colourfulness. The variety of ochre and brown tones as well as the even smoothness of the incarnate parts are underlined by charming colouristic accents such as the headscarf, necklace and fan. The artistic quality as well as the strange beauty of the sitter make this work an impressive masterpiece of the artist, who was able to depict the grace and proud dignity of Arab people like no other.

ATTRIBUÉ À LEOPOLD CARL MÜLLER (1834-1892) Markt in Kairo (Marché au Caire) Huile sur toile Oil on canvas 86 x 125,5 cm - 33 7/8 x 49 3/8 in. Provenance Collection particulière, France Oeuvre en rapport Leopold Carl Müller, Markt in Kairo (Marché au Caire), 1878, huile sur toile, 136 x 216,5 cm, Vienne, Belvedere, Inv. Lg 353 Note Notre tableau est une réduction avec variantes du groupe avec le joueur de kissar occupant le centre du tableau conservé à Vienne. "C'est durant l'hiver 1873 que Müller entreprit son premier voyage en Orient, préparé en quelque sorte par un séjour l'année précédente en Sicile. Il y montra déjà de l'intérêt pour la culture arabe, mais, ayant projeté un passage vers Tunis, il ne put le réaliser. On ne connaît pas les raisons qui le poussèrent à partir pour l'Égypte. Peut-être les pavillons orientaux - construits par Franz Schmoranz pour le vice-roi d'Égypte - de l'Exposition universelle de Vienne en 1873 ont-ils joué un rôle en aiguisant sa curiosité. [...] Il n'existe, à l'heure actuelle, aucun document qui témoigne du départ de Müller, ni de son arrivée en Égypte. Sa première lettre envoyée d'Orient, celle du 26 février 1874, affirme qu'il est bien installé et qu'il s'est remarquablement acclimaté au pays. En 1875, il écrivait rétrospectivement avoir passé près de six mois en Égypte. Il faut donc bien qu'il se soit embarqué en décembre, car il est attesté qu'il rentra en mai 1874, par Smyrne et Constantinople, déçu d'ailleurs par cess deux dernières villes. Jamais plus il n'ira en Turquie ; un projet de voyage en Palestine et en Syrie ne sera pas non plus réalisé. L'Orient de Müller, c'était l'Égypte, et la plupart du temps il s'embarquait à Trieste à destination d'Alexandrie et prenait le même chemin au retour. Tous ses séjours égyptiens se déroulèrent selon le même scénario, si l'on excepte l'épisode de la visite de Hans Makart et de Franz lenbach durant l'hiver 1875-1876, et une excursion en Haute-Égypte au cours de l'hiver 1880-1881 : arrivée à Alexandrie, voyage en train jusqu'au Caire, logement dans l'un des hôtels tenus à l'européenne, visite des environs du Caire et fréquentation de la société européenne, tel était le programme invariable. Deux choses le distinguaient des autres touristes : d'une part, il demeurait plus longtemps que les trois semaines habituelles et, d'autre part, il faisait partie, du fait de ses fréquents séjours et de son activité artistique, du décor, si l'on peut dire, de l'enclave européenne. Les premiers temps, il ne peignit que des études qu'il ne poussait à l'oeuvre aboutie qu'une fois revenu à Vienne ou à Venise. Plus tard, il se mit à peindre des grands formats sur place, au Caire. Il logeait souvent chez un négociant suisse, André Bircher, propriétaire d'une belle maison de la vieille ville où il avait aussi un atelier. Il lui arrivait également de prendre une chambre à l'Hôtel du Nil, l'un des plus anciens hôtels européens d'Égypte. [...] En 1887, année de sa rencontre avec Wallis [propriétaire de la célèbre French Gallery à Londres], Müller acceptait un poste de professeur à l'École des Beaux-Arts (17 juin 1877) de Vienne. Il avait hésité, cette charge étant difficilement conciliable avec ses longs séjours hivernaux prolongés en Égypte. Enfin, il céda aux insistances de Rudolf Eitelberger qui le pressait d'accepter. Ce dernier, professeur d'histoire de l'art à l'université de Vienne et personnage important sur la scène politico-culturelle, avait à l'époque décroché pour Müller une commande de lÉtat : Markt in Kairo (Marché au Caire), conservé à l'Österreichische Galerie, à Vienne. [...] Avec Wilhelm Gentz et Gustav Bauernfeind, Leopold Carl Müller est l'un des plus grands peintres orientalistes du monde germanique. Chacun représente tour à tour une conception originale de ce genre pictural. Müller se voyait lui-même en prophète de la couleur et de la lumière. Cependant, peintre académique, il se retrouvait pris dans un dilemme : son oeuvre témoigne de la force et de la vigueur de la peinture académique, mais aussi de ses limites ; limites qui apparaissent bien plus clairement encore dans les oeuvres de ses élèves. La solution vint beaucoup plus tard et d'une façon inattendue; Brusquement, comme souvent, lors du voyage à Tunis de Paul Klee et August Macke en 1914. Le Caire de Klee et celui de Müller sont à des lieues l'un de l'autre, un monde les sépare. Et pourtant, c'est cette même lumière et ces mêmes couleurs qui exercèrent leur fascination sur les peintres, presque un siècle durant."

Leopold Carl Mï¿½ller,
Est: £6,000 - £8,000
Leopold Carl Mï¿½ller, Austrian 1834-1892- A man and woman by a doorway; oil on canvas, signed 'L C Muller' (lower left), 40.8 x 30.5 cm. Provenance: The Collection of Jan and Nelly Szibner; Thence by descent. Note: Mï¿½ller began his artistic training as a pupil of Karl von Blaas (1815-1894) and Christian Ruben (1805-1875) at the Academy in Vienna. In 1867 he travelled to Paris to see the Exposition Universelle and was there inspired by the work of Eugene Fromentin (1820-1876), one of the first European artists to record and paint the landscape and culture of Algeria. This proved to be a turning point in Mï¿½ller's artistic career as his focus then transitioned to the Orientalist genre. He went on to take inspiration from his travels to Italy and Egypt, first visiting the latter in 1873. He frequently travelled back and forth to Egypt for the rest of his life, sometimes staying for up to six months exploring Cairo, Alexandria and the lands of Upper Egypt, and immersing himself into the local culture. His early visits there often saw him painting studies en plein-air before completing the final compositions in his studio in Vienna, though his increasing priority to capture every detail gradually persuaded him to start painting larger compositions directly from life. The present work depicts a man leaning over a seated woman with his arm outstretched, against the backdrop of the ruins of a presumably North African building. The dark archway to the right dominates a large space of the composition whilst highlighting the two figures to the left. The man's bright clothing and the woman's glistening bangle and ring stand out from the darker background and highlight the mystery of the interaction. According to the label attached to the reverse of the frame, the painting was framed in Vienna, presumably either prior to coming into Jan Szibnerï¿½s possession or during his ownership of it. It was probably already sold (though not necessarily to Szibner) prior to Mï¿½ller's death, since it did not feature in the artistï¿½s estate sale in 1893. Alternatively it may have been kept by Mï¿½ller's sisters Marie and Bertha and then later sold by them. Indeed, the sisters, who were in Vienna until their deaths in the 1930s, were unmarried, without occupations, and after their brotherï¿½s death fell into hardship. It is documented that they steadily sold their brotherï¿½s paintings that were still in their possession, and it is conceivable, of course, that the present work was one such painting. Born in 1893 in Budapest to a family of financiers, Jan Szibner chose an alternative career path to his family by enlisting as a soldier. During the First World War, he served on the Eastern Front in the Galicia region (today in Ukraine) where he was injured, but remained in the military even after the war, rapidly rising through the ranks to become General in 1935 and later Lieutenant Field Marshal. Nelly (Eleanor) Szibner, born in 1902, married Jan in 1927. She was a highly regarded actress of the period and performed at the National Theatre in Budapest until the outbreak of the Second World War. At this stage Jan and Nelly Szibner had amassed an impressive collection of art and antiquities principally purchased in Paris during the 1920s and 1930s. During the Second World War, however, Jan was captured and later died as a Prisoner of War in October 1945. The art collection was held by Nelly until her death 10 years later and was then bequeathed to Jan Szibner's three sisters. The children of the youngest sister inherited the items upon her death, which then passed by descent to the present owners. We are grateful to Dr Peter Jï¿½nosi for confirming the authenticity of the work based on a photo. Relined. The canvas is taut on the stretcher and sits well in the frame. The paint surface is largely stable on the support with some areas of heightened craquelure. Slightly uneven layer of varnish overall. Some marks, minor losses, and overall surface dirt. Under UV lamp, evidence of minor historic retouching to certain spots beneath an old layer of varnish. Some newer retouchings to small areas including to the upper curve of the arch, to spots around the head of the man and one line beneath his shoulder, and a small area beneath the seated woman.

Leopold Carl MÃ¼ller, Austrian 1834-1892- A man and woman by a doorway; oil on canvas, signed
Est: £8,000 - £12,000
Leopold Carl MÃ¼ller, Austrian 1834-1892- A man and woman by a doorway; oil on canvas, signed 'L C Muller' (lower left), 40.8 x 30.5 cm. Provenance: The Collection of Jan and Nelly Szibner; Thence by descent. Note: MÃ¼ller began his artistic training as a pupil of Karl von Blaas (1815-1894) and Christian Ruben (1805-1875) at the Academy in Vienna. In 1867 he travelled to Paris to see the Exposition Universelle and was there inspired by the work of Eugene Fromentin (1820-1876), one of the first European artists to record and paint the landscape and culture of Algeria. This proved to be a turning point in MÃ¼ller's artistic career as his focus then transitioned to the Orientalist genre. He went on to take inspiration from his travels to Italy and Egypt, first visiting the latter in 1873. He frequently travelled back and forth to Egypt for the rest of his life, sometimes staying for up to six months exploring Cairo, Alexandria and the lands of Upper Egypt, and immersing himself into the local culture. His early visits there often saw him painting studies en plein-air before completing the final compositions in his studio in Vienna, though his increasing priority to capture every detail gradually persuaded him to start painting larger compositions directly from life. The present work depicts a man leaning over a seated woman with his arm outstretched, against the backdrop of the ruins of a presumably North African building. The dark archway to the right dominates a large space of the composition whilst highlighting the two figures to the left. The man's bright clothing and the woman's glistening bangle and ring stand out from the darker background and highlight the mystery of the interaction. According to the label attached to the reverse of the frame, the painting was framed in Vienna, presumably either prior to coming into Jan Szibnerâs possession or during his ownership of it. It was probably already sold (though not necessarily to Szibner) prior to MÃ¼ller's death, since it did not feature in the artistâs estate sale in 1893. Alternatively it may have been kept by MÃ¼ller's sisters Marie and Bertha and then later sold by them. Indeed, the sisters, who were in Vienna until their deaths in the 1930s, were unmarried, without occupations, and after their brotherâs death fell into hardship. It is documented that they steadily sold their brotherâs paintings that were still in their possession, and it is conceivable, of course, that the present work was one such painting. Born in 1893 in Budapest to a family of financiers, Jan Szibner chose an alternative career path to his family by enlisting as a soldier. During the First World War, he served on the Eastern Front in the Galicia region (today in Ukraine) where he was injured, but remained in the military even after the war, rapidly rising through the ranks to become General in 1935 and later Lieutenant Field Marshal. Nelly (Eleanor) Szibner, born in 1902, married Jan in 1927. She was a highly regarded actress of the period and performed at the National Theatre in Budapest until the outbreak of the Second World War. At this stage Jan and Nelly Szibner had amassed an impressive collection of art and antiquities principally purchased in Paris during the 1920s and 1930s. During the Second World War, however, Jan was captured and later died as a Prisoner of War in October 1945. The art collection was held by Nelly until her death 10 years later and was then bequeathed to Jan Szibner's three sisters. The children of the youngest sister inherited the items upon her death, which then passed by descent to the present owners. We are grateful to Dr Peter JÃ¡nosi for confirming the authenticity of the work based on a photo. Please refer to department for condition report

Den Winter 1875/76 verbringt er mit Carl Rudolf Huber, Franz Lenbach und Hans Makart in Kairo. 1877 erfolgt die Ernennung zum Professor an der Akademie der bildenden Künste in Wien, 1890-1891 wird er deren Rektor. - Wir bitten darum, Zustandsberichte zu den Losen zu erfragen, da der Erhaltungszustand nur in Ausnahmefällen im Katalog angegeben ist. - Please ask for condition reports for individual lots, as the condition is usually not mentioned in the catalogue.
