Domingos Antonio de Sequeira (1768-1837) Resting during the Flight into Egypt, 1824 Oil on canvas, signed and dated lower right 100 x 81 cm Exhibition: Paris, Salon of 1824 [Outside catalog] Very fine period frame Condition report: The canvas has a network of fine cracks running across its entire surface. On some occasions, these cracks have caused the paint layer to shrink, leading to the creation of small cracks (particularly in the upper left-hand corner), which have been rather clumsily filled in by an earlier restoration, resulting in some slight retouching (photographs of the canvas taken under violet light are available). Domingos Antonio de Sequeira was a Portuguese painter born in Lisbon in 1768 and died in Rome in 1837. Appointed court painter in Lisbon in 1802, he is best known for his portraits of the family of King John VI. The political upheavals in Portugal during the first quarter of the 19th century prompted him to go into exile in France at the time of the absolutist counter-revolution of Vila-Francada. Settling in Paris in 1824, the painter, who called himself Le chevalier de Sequeira, lived at 94 rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré. He participated in the Salon of 1824, exhibiting a remarkable painting: Sujet tiré de la vie du Camoëns ou La mort de Camoens, which would have earned him a gold medal and appreciation as a leading Romantic painter. This painting is now considered lost in Brazil. He eventually settled in Rome in 1826, where he died some ten years later, without ever having seen Portugal again. Our painting is an important rediscovery, since, as the date attests, it is the second known canvas from his Parisian sojourn. In the important monographic work devoted to the painter, Sequeira Um Portugues na mudança dos tempos [A Portuguese in Changing Times], published on the occasion of the January-March 1987 exhibition at Lisbon's National Museum of Ancient Art by the Ministry of Culture and the Portuguese Institute of Museums, a mention of our painting appears in the chronology for the year 1824, where it is stated that Le repos pendant la fuite en Égypte was added to the picture rails of the Louvre, after the inauguration of the Salon: Agosto, 25. Abertura do Salon. Sequeira expoe a Morte de Camoes e, ja depois da inauguracao do certame, um Repouso na fuga para o Egypto, which may explain why our painting is not mentioned in the Salon catalog. This painting, previously unseen on the market, is a remarkable example of the tenderness of a passionate religious sentiment, mixed with a romantic emotionality.

Horace VERNET (Paris, 1789 - 1863) Seventeen studies for portraits Canvas Height : 57 cm Width : 84 cm Provenance : Delaroche-Vernet family Bibliography and exhibition: Horace Vernet 1789-1863, Rome, Académie de France, and Paris, École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts, 1980, p. 91, no. 65. The catalog states: "This montage of 17 portraits caught our attention, because it shows us the way Horace worked, taking quick sketches of models, which he then included in larger compositions. Despite examination in the Louvre laboratory, it has not been possible to decipher the names of all the figures assembled here. The figures assembled here all appear to have been painted between around 1820 and 1835. "In this publication, Isabelle Julia identifies several of the models: - At top right, in fifth position, the military figure is General Drouot (1774-1847), hero of the Napoleonic epic for which Vernet was nostalgic; - below, in tenth position, the child is Ferdinand Philippe (1810-1842), Duc de Chartres. This is a study for the full-length portrait of the Duc de Chartres holding a hoop from 1821, now at the Château de Versailles (since 2015); - in twelfth position, the woman with a hat is Natalie de Laborde (1774-1835), Countess de Noailles, then Duchess de Mouchy, who was one of Chateaubriand's loves and a muse; - bottom left, fourteenth position, with beret, perhaps Adrien Perlet (1795-1850), a comic actor at the Comédie-Française during the Restoration; - in sixteenth position (bottom, second row from right), perhaps Ferdinand Philippe (1810-1842), now grown and titled Duke of Orléans (or one of his brothers). As a hypothesis, we propose the following additions: - in second place, wearing a black hat, Vernet's collector and friend Philippe Lenoir (1785 - 1867), by comparison with his portrait by Vernet in the Louvre; - in third place, Anne-Françoise-Hippolyte Boutet (1779-1847), the famous actress known as Mademoiselle Mars, by comparison with her portrait by Vernet at the Château de Versailles since 2020; - in fourth place, the neoclassical painter Pierre-Narcisse Guérin (1774-1833), master of Delacroix and Géricault, by comparison with his portrait by Vernet at the Beaux-arts de Paris, painted around 1829; - in sixth place, collector and banker David Schickler (1777-1866), by comparison with his portrait by Vernet in the Paul and Raphaëlle de Pourtalès collection. - in seventh place, the painter François-Joseph Heim (1787-1865), by comparison with his portrait by Vernet in the Louvre's Department of Graphic Arts; - in eleventh place, the Duc d'Orléans, Louis-Philippe 1er (1773-1850), King of the French from 1830, by comparison with the portrait by Vernet in the Musée Condé at Chantilly. Another study for the black soldier, in ninth position, with a variant, is kept in a private collection. Its model has not been identified. Expert: Cabinet Turquin
