Henri-Charles Angéniol (1870-1959)

(QR576) The antique paintings category offers a beautiful portrait of a young woman sewing by the window, an oil painting on panel, from the mid-twentieth century. It is a portrait of a girl in a domestic setting, depicted in an intimate moment, elegantly dressed, drinking tea and sewing in the light, near the window. The painter uses warm colors that create a beautiful atmosphere with soft light. The painted panel has moved over time, creating small vertical breaks that can be seen in the painting, which remains very beautiful nonetheless. The work is dated 1946 and signed H. Angéniol in the lower left, a French painter from Lyon of portraits, landscape paintings, religious paintings, and flower still lifes. French antique. Henri-Charles Angéniol (1870-1959) studied at the School of Fine Arts in both Lyon and Paris, taking lessons with the painter Tony Tollet and then later working in the studio of the artist Gustave Moreau. He exhibited his paintings at the "Salon des Artistes Français" in Paris from 1904 to 1914. He exhibited his works continuously at the "Société lyonnaise des Beaux-Arts" from 1919-1959. He was praised by the press of the period for his ability to portray subjects in their intimate expressiveness in moments of everyday life. His painting was defined as "intimist painting." The work is framed with a beautiful gilded frame in pure gold leaf from the nineteenth century. The frame and oil painting have been professionally restored. www.bisgart.com Restored Painting | French Origin | Twentieth Century | French Antique | Antique Paintings | Lyon School Bibliography: E.
