French school (XX) - Portrait de femme au double rang de perles

FRENCH SCHOOL OF THE 20th CENTURY Attributed to GORZKOWSKI (Active mid-20th century) probably Post-war Paris School "Portrait of a woman with a double row of pearls" Dated 1955 Oil on panel (original Isorel). Signed and dated bottom right "Gorzkowski 55". In an antique moulded wood frame, stained. Dimensions: Panel: 35.5 x 40.5 cm (portrait format close to the standard size of the era) With frame: Approximately 45 x 50 cm –LOT DESCRIPTION Magnificent bust portrait of an elegant woman facing the viewer, face subtly inclined three-quarters. The model is depicted with bare shoulders, enhanced by a double-row pearl necklace whose pearly white catches the light and contrasts with the warm flesh tones of the skin. The blue, intense, melancholic gaze immediately captures the viewer’s attention. The artist uses a generous, fluid and modern brushwork, especially visible in the treatment of the chestnut-blonde hair and in the brushed background with blue-green and turquoise tones, characteristic of the post-war Paris School sensibility. HISTORICAL CONTEXT & SPECIALIST NOTES This work, entirely new to the market, is a captivating rediscovery for the French School of the mid-1950s. During this decade, while abstraction triumphs in Parisian salons, a strong figurative current maintains a tradition of modernized portraiture. The artist’s surname, Gorzkowski, bears witness to the richness of the waves of Central European artists who settled in France and fully assimilated to the local art scene. The choice of support—a oil on Isorel panel—as well as the workmanship of the work confirm execution at the very heart of this 1955 fervor. Kept in private hands and presented in its original frame, this portrait combines psychological strength with chromatic softness. PROVENANCE Private collection, France. Unpublished on the market (first public appearance). CONDITION REPORT Artwork: Very good overall state of conservation. The pictorial layer is sound, with no notable lifting, showing fresh original pigments. Some light surface dirt from handling, the varnish of the period potentially warranting a light cleaning to revive the blues of the background. Support: Stable Isorel panel, non-deformed. Verso shows its original grid texture, held by period fixtures and old stabilising adhesive strips. Frame: Antique moulded wood frame. Shows light signs of use, minor patina offsets at the corners that enhance its authenticity. Unpublished on the market A Certificate of Authenticity will be provided to the buyer.
