Description
Follower of Daniel SAINT (1778-1847), French school circa 1830-1850. Presumed portrait of Edmé de la Borne, counsellor at the Châtelet, half-body against a background of a red curtain raised over a landscape, wearing the ribbon of the Legion of Honour in his buttonhole. Miniature on ivory, signature added lower right: "Saint Ft", circa 1830. Oval 12.2 x 9.7 cm In a veneered wood frame with gilt brass visor, rect. 18.2 x 14.1 cm, with identification label: "Edme de LA BORNE/Conseiller au Châtelet/ (1778-1875) (sic)". Provenance: probably Phillips, London, 6 November 2000, no. 117 repr. "Daniel Saint"; Chenu-Scrive-Bérard sale, Lyon, 17 March 2002, no. 279, measured 12.5 x 10 cm, "Daniel Saint". Collection of Mr X., Paris A vigorously treated miniature that adopts Daniel Saint's layout codes. There is another miniature on the same subject, unsigned and by another hand, from the Holzscheiter collection (as by Daniel Saint), in the Tansey collection, at the Bomann Museum in Celle, Germany, no. 10646, 12.3 x 9.6 cm, as a "follower of Daniel Saint" and identified as "Etienne Edmé de la Borne Desfournaux (1767-1849)", General Commander of the Legion of Honour, whose known portraits differ, however. The identification label raises questions. He may have been Edme Delaborne (1770-1848), "proprietor, former adviser to the Châtelet, living at no. 4 rue des Petits Augustins, only son of Edmé Didier Delaborne and Marie-Louise Lebrun", married to Adélaïde Jarry in 1805 (mentioned in a notarial deed dated 29 May 1810 (Archives nationales /MC/ET/XCVII/665). An Edmé de La Borne, perhaps the same one, was a knight of the Legion of Honour and deputy mayor of the 10th arrondissement in Paris in 1820-1823. Expert: Nathalie Lemoine-Bouchard. A Cites certificate will be issued to the buyer to allow movement within the European Union. A re-export certificate will be required to leave the E.U., at the buyer's expense.
