| This Oil on Board "Naughty Maid in Pink", Joseph Henri Condamin, (FRENCH, 1847-1917) is in Excellent Condition. Framed size 31 x 26 1/8 ", 19 X 23 1/8", This painting is in its original, carved and gilded frame. Joseph Henri Condamin was born in Lyon, France in 1847. He studied genre painting in Lyon under Pierre Bonirote (genre painter, 1811-1891) and in Paris under Alexandre Cabenel (a classicist in painting and sculpture, 1823-1889) who ranked with Bougeuereau (1825-1905) as one of the most influential and successful Academic French artists of the period. Condamin exhibited in the Salons of Paris in 1874 and is known for genre paintings, portraits, still life's and sculptures. Genre scenes are defined as pictorial representations that record events from daily life such as domestic settings, street scenes and interiors. The artist may interpret these scenes as realistic, imagined or romanticized. In this 19th century genre painting, a maid is possibly costumed in her mistress's dress and shoes but with her maid apron and maid's cap as well. In a rose colored dress, she quietly listens at the door to hear if anyone might be coming who would discover she has borrowed the fine dress from her mistress. Her mop rests against a fine French table in a beautifully appointed room full of lush crimson red drapery, a Chinese porcelain base with a large plant and a French chair. In the upper right of the canvas, a large sculptural bust is included. Condamin was known for his sculptures as well as his genre paintings. The maid's lavish pink dress cascades to the rich burnt-red floor as she leans closely to the door intently listening for approaching sounds or voices. Her luxurious garments are carefully rendered with delicate brush strokes to accentuate the fine silk dress complete with a cinched waist and gathered bustle gravitating downward. Crimson curtains drape the background of this scene. The intricately detailed furniture such as the rich red upholstered chair demonstrates a typical Rococo European interior of the late 19th century.
