Paris, ca. 1840. (43.5 x 35 cm). With peaches, raspberries and blue flax. Framed.
Delicate watercolour drawing by Claire Delarue (1821-1906), a pupil of Pierre-Joseph Redouté. Redouté had a class of talented upper-class female pupils, among them Queen Hortense, the wife of Louis Napoleon. They specialized in gouaches of flowers and fruits on vellum in the same manner as Redouté, but signed their works mostly with their first names only. In her work on Redouté, E. Hardouin-Fugier describes the master and his pupils, one of them named Claire Delarue. Although not much is known about her, and no other works by her have been traced, she was a gifted artist, painting every detail with refinement, using subtle colours, with the result near tangibility.
In fine condition.
Cf. Hardouin-Fugier, The Pupils of Redouté, p. 39. - Sur l'artisteClaire Delarue (1821-1906), élève de Pierre-Joseph Redouté. Redouté avait une classe d'élèves talentueuses de la classe supérieure, parmi lesquelles la reine Hortense, l'épouse de Louis Napoléon. Ils se sont spécialisés dans les gouaches de fleurs et de fruits sur vélin au même titre que Redouté, mais ont signé leurs œuvres principalement avec leurs prénoms.
