Bernard Pothast (Dutch, 1882-1966) Oil Painting
Est: $3,000 - $4,000
Bernard Jean Corneille Pothast (Dutch, 1882-1966) Painting. Title - Sharing an Orange. Oil on canvas painting. Signed lower right B. Pothast. Label on reverse, Anderson Galleries, Chicago #7882. Painting measures 24 inches high, 20 inches wide. Frame measures 32 inches high, 26.5 inches wide. The oil painting has the original protective card stock backing. In good restored condition. Has touch up on the right side of the wall and not on any of the figures. From Askart.com: Born in Belgium, Bernard Pothast (1882-1966) traveled to Paris to attend the École des Beaux Arts. There he studied under the artist Gabriel Ferrier. He also studied at the School of Reichstag and later in Amsterdam under the artist Jules Alby. Bernard Pothast enjoyed a successful career as a genre painter. His favorite subject was the peasant family. European painters of peasants in the nineteenth century found themselves heirs to the inheritance of idyllic literature, which set up certain stereotypes of rustic life. Pothast's images depicted peasant mothers instructing or caring for their young children, placed in rustic interiors sparingly decorated with the family's humble possessions. Their interiors were typically illuminated by the light of early or midday sunshine. These renderings charmed the newly rich industrial merchant, now living and working in urban surroundings, yet craving for the simplicity of country life. Pothast's sentimental illustrations of peasant life were very popular during his lifetime, and remain so today. He died on February 1, 1966 in Laren, North Holland in the Netherlands.

BERNARD JEAN CORNEILLE POTHAST, DUTCH 1882-1966- THE READING LESSON; OIL ON CANVAS, SIGNED 'POT
Est: £1,000 - £1,500
Bernard Jean Corneille Pothast, Dutch 1882-1966- The reading lesson; oil on canvas, signed 'Pothast' (lower right), 75.5 x 65.5 cm. ARR. Provenance: Private Collection. Note: Pothast was celebrated for his maternal scenes, consisting largely of somewhat romanticised depictions of mothers. The present work is characteristic of his treatment of the subject matter, with a family group situated an understated interior, lit by a soft, natural light pouring through the window to the left of the composition. The muted hues of yellow and red of the sitters' clothes are typical of his palette. Pothast's scenes are highly moralistic, extolling the role of the mother in educating and shaping the future generations. This approach is also suggested by the pared-back setting, which implies a modesty and simplicity which Pothast appears to be depicting in a positive light. Such works undeniably demonstrate the influence of earlier Dutch interior and genre painters such as Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675) and Pieter de Hooch (1629-1684). For an extremely similar work by the artist depicting the same three figures in a similar composition, see Anon. sale, Christie's, London, 21 March 1986, lot 18.
