Brassauw, Melchior attr.
1709 (?) - 1757 oder später (?).
Pair of ideal portraits of an elegant lady and a noble man. Oil on panel, cradled. Unsigned. Verso each with a label, inscribed «J.K. Seekatz».
These paintings can not be understood as portraits of real existing persons, but as character studies (so called tronies) of exquisitely fine quality. Melchior Brassauw produced a lot of such ideal portraits in various degrees of quality, weaker works are merely studio products. Very characteristic of Brassauw's own hand is the masterly treatment of the feathers on the hats, the skilful differentiation of the details of various textile surfaces, as well as the enamel-like melting of the paint layers.
Assessment: We would like to thank Mr Fred Meijer, Conservator, Afd. Oude Nederlandse Schilderkunst/Curator, Dpt. of Old Netherlandish Painting, Rijksbureau voor Kunsthistorische Documentatie (RKD), Den Haag, for the scientific advice via E-Mail, based on photos.
Provenance: Sotheby's London, 19.05.1976, lot 196 (as David de Noter); Gallery Katz, St. Moritz, Switzerland, 1977; private property border triangle.
Invoice: Gallery Katz, St. Moritz, Switzerland, 28.03.1977 (as «J.C. Seekatz»).

deutsch 1709 (?) - 1757 oder später (?).
Idealporträts einer eleganten Dame und eines vornehmen Herrn. Öl auf Holz, parkettiert. Unsign. Verso je ein altes Etikett, bez. «J.K. Seekatz». H. 20,8, B. 17,2 cm.
Die Bildnisse sind nicht als Porträts real existierender Personen zu verstehen, sondern Charakterstudien (sogenannte Tronies) von ausnehmend schöner Qualität. Melchior Brassauw fertigte zahlreiche solcher Idealporträts an, die in der Qualität der Ausführung stark variieren, schwächere Arbeiten können mehrheitlich als Werkstattarbeiten eingestuft werden. Charakteristisch für die eigenhändigen Werke Brassauws sind die meisterhafte Ausführung der Federn und die gekonnte Differenzierung textiler Oberflächen sowie der emailartige Schmelz der Malerei.
Beurteilung:
Wir danken Herrn Fred Meijer, Conservator, Afd. Oude Nederlandse Schilderkunst/Curator, Dpt. of Old Netherlandish Painting, Rijksbureau voor Kunsthistorische Documentatie (RKD), Den Haag, für die wissenschaftliche Beratung via E-Mail, anhand von Photos.
Provenienz: Sotheby's London, 19.05.1976, Los 196 (als David de Noter); Galerie Katz, St. Moritz, Schweiz, 1977; Privatbesitz Dreiländereck.
Rechnung: Galerie Katz, St. Moritz, Schweiz, 28.03.1977 (als «J.C. Seekatz»).
