Lot 236

Description

Attributed to Frank Duveneck,

 

American 1848-1919-

 

A Circassian Soldier wearing a papakha;

 

oil on canvas, 88.2 x 73 cm.

 

Provenance: Anon. sale, Christie's, London, 30 November 2004, lot 31 (as 'Russian School, 19th century').; Private Collection, UK.

 

Note: The present work exhibits a striking resemblance to a larger painting of the same subject by the American artist Frank Duveneck, dated 1880, and held at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston [no.76.296]. Indeed, one can confidently posit that our work is a preliminary, and, as such, unsigned, study for the Boston picture. Born in Kentucky, Duveneck was active also in Germany and Italy, and specialised in painting portraits and figure studies.
