VANITAS - OIL ON CANVAS MAROUFLEE ON PANEL - MINIATURE - FRENCH SCHOOL FROM THE 18th CENTURY

Oil on canvas miniature painting representing a vanitas. A young woman is meditating, a hand put on a skull which covers a cross.

The skull is placed on a flat stone, kind of altar of circumstance.

The young lady, her long hair falling down on her shoulders, is holding a chalice near her heart.

Her meditative look is oriented among the sky, in metaphysical thoughts.

The natural environment is strong, free, with in the forefront, an opulent vegetation of trees and bushes, and in the foreground, monts and shores.

The painting has been cut on its margins, with no doubt by the fact of a damaged chassis, and glued on an oak panel.

It is in good condition, with some small punctual lacks of pigment on the edges.

It is framed with a gilt frame with palmettos, from a posterior epoch, early 19th century.

Measures: 4,25 inches by 4 inches - (11 cm by 10).

BEL'S TEMPLE - PALMYRA - WATERCOLORED DRAWING - CAMPAIGN OF 1929

Ancient watercoloured drawing of Bel Temple colonnades in Palmyra, achieved during the campaign statements and restoration of 1929, under french mandate

The drawing is titled: Les ruines du grand temple de la ville de Palmyre

The technique is ink and watercolor

The ruins are treated in monochrome of gray.

The scene is animated with figures dressed of togas, some equipped with a spear. Among us, the archaeologist examines his plan, and dialogues with these imaginary characters

Palmyra's big colonnade ties in to the decumanus of the city, linking the Bel Temple in the east of the city to the funerary temples in the West. But this wide avenue is not completely right, since it has two bends, one hidden by a big triumphal arch and the other by the Tetrapyle.

Very nice condition with no rips or foxing

Presented framed under glass
