Charles Durand 1837 - 1917, Paris “Portrait de Mademoiselle de Lancey” 1876 Oil on canvas Photo is taken by @robertpuffjr Born in Baltimore under the name of Julia Tahl, Mademoiselle de Lancey (1851-1913) appears at the Salon of 1877 as a modern odalisque under the alert brush of Carolus-Duran. Her liaison with Count Nissim de Camondo, who sharefifteenth-century French art, was well known to all of Paris. The erotic charge of this ceremonial portrait perfectly expresses the beauty and independence of this wealthy young American (This writeup is taken from the description at the Museum.)

Four portraits of Leocadie Slewska (or Lodzia Zelewska), Mrs Feydau, later Mrs. Fouquier, by Charles Auguste Emile Durand (called Carolus Duran, b.1837 - d.1917):

‘Sketch for a Portrait of Madame Feydeau'; 'Portrait of Madame Feydeau'; 'Portrait of Madame Henry Fouquier', first two oil on panel then oil on canvas, c.1870, 1873 and 1876 respectively, French, all unsold for est. 8,000 - 12,000 EUR (portrait) and 3,000 - 5,000 EUR (sketch), and 15,000 - 20,000 EUR in Sotheby's Old & 19th Century Paintings and Drawings sale, June 2013; Paris, France. 'Portrait of Mme Ernest Feydeau' also called ‘La Dame au Chien’, oil on canvas, c.1870, French, currently in the collection of the Palais des Beaux-Arts de Lille, France.

Leocadie Feydeau was the wife of Ernest Feydeau (b.1821 - d.1873), noted French writer and banker. Her relationship with Carolus Duran was close; Carolus Duran's daughter Marie Anne married her son Georges Feydeau (also a notable french writer like his father) in a love match in 1889, though they would divorce in 1916. After her husband passed, she would marry several years later her lover Henri Fouquier, a journalist. 

Apart from Henri, she was also reputedly romantically involved with Emperor Napoleon III and Charles, the Duke of Morny; beset by rumours that either were the real father of her son Georges. Leocadie in response remarked 'How can anyone be stupid enough to believe that a boy as intelligent as Georges is the son of that idiotic emperor!' - though she did not refute that the Duke of Morny could have been his real father.

MWW Artwork of the Day (5/19/22) Carolus-Duran (French, 1837–1917) Merrymakers (1870) Oil on canvas, 90.2 x 139.7 cm. The Detroit Institute of Arts

Carolus-Duran -- his full name was actually Charles Auguste Émile Durand -- is remembered as one of the most sought after portrait painters of his generation.   In this realistic rendition of a humorous scene at a cafe, we can see four well-dressed people -– a woman laughing with her hand on her chest on whose lap is sitting a toddler delighted by the game being played on the table by the figure on the left who we see in profile, and a girl leaning in to see the expression of delight on the toddler’s face. The game being played is the fooling of the bird on the table, painted in bright green, with a ‘bird’ of folded paper. The mood of the scene is one of gaiety and is painted in a straight-forward Realism that does not admit of irony. Fine details are present such as the knife overhanging the table which is in tension with the limits of the picture space, and the glass of wine.

John Singer Sargent (b.1856 - d.1925), 'Sketch for the Triumph of Maria de Medici', oil on canvas, c.1877, American, currently in the collection of the Portland Museum of Art, OR, USA.

This study is for a work by his instructor, Charles Auguste Emile Durand - also known as Carolus Duran (b.1837 - d.1917). With the assistance of two of his pupils - Sargent and James Carroll Beckwith (b.1852 - d.1917) - he created the grand work for the Luxembourg Palace, echoing the Marie de' Medici cycle created by Rubens. After it was hidden by a false ceiling in 1962, it was uncovered at a later date and is now found in the collection of the Louvre.
