Lot 268

Description

Emile Cambiaggio, 
Italian 1857-1930- 

Une charmeuse; 

oil on canvas, signed 'E. Cambiaggio' (lower right), 144.8 x 208.3 cm. 

Provenance: 
Anon. sale, Christie's, London, 21 March 1997, lot 74 (£51,000). 
Anon. sale, Christie's, London, 3 December 2003, lot 90 (£35,850); 
where purchased by the present owner.  

Exhibited: 
Paris, Salon, 1887, no.432 (illustrated). 

Note: 
Cambiaggio worked in France over the course of his career, and was clearly heavily influenced by the languorous nudes of painters Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (1780-1876) and William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825-1905). Indeed, the heavily Orientalist tone of the present work gestures towards Ingres' 'Grande Odalisque', in the Louvre [RF 1158], which was very well-known in 19th-century France.
