Pair of 1890s Orientalist Chromolithographs by Gobelins
This lot features two exquisite chromolithographs, each showcasing remarkable craftsmanship and artistic depth from the late 19th century. Gobelins Chromolithograph by Fehrmann: this highly detailed and colorful print from 1891 depicts an allegorical scene, showcasing a female figure dressed in flowing classical attire, seated at a lectern with the inscription Principio. The intricate border features cherubs, Gothic architectural elements, and floral motifs, all indicative of the Gobelins style. Below, the caption reads, Unus Iste Labor Calami Liber Unice Exit, reflecting the intellectual themes of the piece. Marked Fehrmann and dated 1891, this chromolithograph embodies the precision and grandeur of the Gobelins decorative arts tradition. The second features A Daughter of the Rajahs After Paul Senneville: This striking chromolithograph features an elegant woman in ornate traditional attire, symbolizing exoticism and grandeur. Based on a painting by Paul Senneville, this print captures the grace and cultural allure associated with 19th-century portrayals of Eastern royalty. The fine detailing of the woman's elaborate embroidered gown and veil highlights the mastery of chromolithography in conveying texture and depth. Printed by George Barrie and copyrighted by C.B.H., this piece exemplifies 19th-century European fascination with Orientalist themes. Each artwork average dimensions with mat: 13.75"L x 19"H.
