Jules Adolphe Goupil
(Paris 1839–1883 Neuilly)
Full-length portrait of Thérèse Girard at the age of three, signed, dated Jules Goupil and with dedication à son ami E. Girard Avril 1882, oil on canvas, 161 x 125 cm, framed, (W)
Provenance:
Thérèse Girard Collection (1878–1947), Paris;
her heirs;
Christie’s London, 21 November 2011, lot 30;
Private Collection, Great Britain.
Jules Adolphe Goupil, a French painter and etcher, initially focused his work on the execution of portraits. Over the course of his career, he also depicted genre scenes and episodes from the French Revolution. The method deployed in his paintings, with its strong brushstrokes and harmonic colour scheme, proves his artistic accomplishment. The present full figure portrait of the young Thérèse Gerard, who was probably the daughter of a friend, as indicated by the description on the back, was executed in 1882 and exhibited in the Paris Salon in the same year.
Goupil was not only a great success in France: his depictions of episodes from the French Revolution, in particular, also enjoyed a favourable reception in Munich and Brussels.
