Artist: Jean-louis Marcel Cosson (1878-1956)
Jean-Louis Marcel COSSON (1878–1956) – Bourgeois Interior Scene with a Letter
Title: Reading a Letter in a Bourgeois Interior
Period: First half of the 20th century (circa 1920–1930)
Medium: Oil on panel
Signature: Signed “COSSON” lower left
An elegant Post-Impressionist interior scene depicting a woman seated at a draped table, intently reading a letter. In the background, a housekeeper or maid is busy near a chest of drawers, set within a warm and richly decorated living room (framed paintings, a sideboard, burgundy drapes, and a table lamp).
The composition stands out for its masterful use of natural light streaming through the window at the back of the room and for its vibrant, generous brushwork, characteristic of Marcel Cosson’s work. The still life arranged on the table (a crystal decanter, a fruit bowl, and a bouquet of flowers) lends a sense of freshness and poetry to the entire scene.
Jean-Louis Marcel Cosson (1878–1956) was a French painter renowned for his scenes of Parisian life, the world of entertainment, theater, and ballet, as well as for his intimate interior scenes. A member of the Salon des Artistes Français and the Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts, he elegantly captured the atmosphere of French society between the two world wars.
Condition of the work: Very good original condition, beautiful, well-preserved paint texture.
Framing: Presented in a period molded wooden frame with a patina.
Dimensions without frame: 35 cm / 27 cm.
With frame: 46 cm / 39 cm.
