Alexander KUCHARSKI (1741-1819) [attributed... - Lot 2 - Ader
Alexander KUCHARSKI (1741-1819) [attributed to]. Portrait of a woman wearing a tricolor ribbon Oil on canvas. Unsigned. On the back, a label inscribed: "Portrait Countess Potocka attributed [to] Polish painter Kojarski 18th". (Restorations). 54 x 47 cm After starting his career in Warsaw at the court of Stanislaw Poniatowski, Kucharski obtained a scholarship and was sent to Paris to train in historical painting. Preferring portraiture, he renounced the royal support and stayed in France. After the departure of Elisabeth Vigée le Brun in 1789, he became the official portraitist of Marie-Antoinette. According to the label on the back of the painting, we can compare it to the portrait painted by Johann Baptist von Lampi of Pelagia Potocka and her mother, which is kept in the Nieborow Palace. There is also a portrait of Pelagia by Elisabeth Vigée Le Brun in the Royal Castle in Warsaw and another by the same artist in the Castle of Montrésor. A famous portrait of Sophie Potocka (the third wife of Stanislaw Szczesny Potocki, Pelagia's father), which was kept in the Kupferstichkabinetts in Berlin until 1945 and then disappeared, is attributed to Alexander Kucharski. [sztuka polska, Aleksander Kucharski (przypisany), hrabina potocka]
