A Spinner - Jeanne Elisabeth Chaudet - Oil On Canvas - Salon Of 1801
Artist: Jeanne-élisabeth Chaudet (1767-1832)
The exhibition "I declare to live from my art", currently in progress at the Fragonard museum in Grasse, has enabled us to give back this beautiful and delicate spinner to a woman painter of primary importance under the Revolution and the Empire: Jeanne-Élisabeth CHAUDET .
Our painting was exhibited by the artist at the Salon of 1801 under number 63: A young woman spinning.
Jeanne-Élisabeth Chaudet (1767-1832)
A Spinner, oil on canvas ; 65x54cm. ; with frame: 87 x 77 cm.
Trace of signature in the hearth of the fireplace.
On its original canvas. Exceptional condition.
Cousin of the Lemoine sisters, Jeanne Elisabeth Gabiou was born in 1767. Like the latter, she was destined very quickly for a career as a painter. Antoine Denis Chaudet, sculptor whom she married in 1793, gave her lessons in her youth.
Her debut at the Salon dates from 1796 where she exhibited continuously until 1817. From the Salon of 1799, Jeanne-Elisabeth Chaudet forged a specificity in the representations of young people captured in anecdotal and ingenuous occupations. She is particularly appreciated for the naivety of her compositions. With great tenderness, she paints a child showing pictures from a book, a little girl having lunch with her dog, or another eating cherries. Sometimes the subject is tinged with a more dramatic, almost pre-Romantic touch, as in his Little Girl Weeping Her Dead Pigeon of 1808.
