This January, Sotheby’s celebrates trailblazing female artists from the 16th through the 19th century with 168开奖官方开奖网站查询:The Female Triumphant, a group of exceptional works of art that will offered in our 168开奖官方开奖网站查询:Masters Week sales. In spite of extraordinary obstacles, talented artists such as 168开奖官方开奖网站查询:Elisabeth-Louise Vigée Le Brun, 168开奖官方开奖网站查询:Fede Galizia, and Elizabeth Gardner Bouguereau paved the way for future generations of artists everywhere. In this episode of 168开奖官方开奖网站查询:Masterworks: Expert Voices, 19th Century European Painting Specialist Alexandra Allen celebrates the achievements of Elizabeth Gardner Bouguereau through two of her works, 168开奖官方开奖网站查询:Les Trois Amis and 168开奖官方开奖网站查询:La Captive. As one of the most accomplished Salon artists of her time, she exhibited a total of thirty six paintings between 1868-1914, more than any other foreign or American female artist. In 1887, she had the distinction of becoming the first and only American woman to receive a Salon gold medal. Painted for the 1883 Salon, La Captive reflects Elizabeth Gardner Bouguereau’s careful treatment of figures, faces, hands, feet, and drapery within a subdued, tasteful color palette. Explore these works and more in Sotheby’s 168开奖官方开奖网站查询:19th Century European Art sale. (1 February | New York)
