Jean-Gabriel DOMERGUE (1889-1962) The Lodge Oil on panel signed lower left 81 x 65 cm A certificate from Monsieur Guy Gallot dated June 30, 1984 will be given to the buyer. We would like to thank Noé Willer for confirming the authenticity of this work. Note: Jean-Gabriel Domergue (1889-1962), nicknamed "the painter of the Parisienne", left his mark on his era with his portraits of elegant women, embodying the charm and refinement of the 1920s to 1950s. In La loge, he plunges us into the hushed atmosphere of a theater or opera house: an elegant female spectator, adorned with gloves and jewels, occupies the foreground, while a man accompanies her in the background. The composition, bathed in vibrant reds and oranges, captures the intimacy and glamour of the scene, while sublimating the model's femininity. An emblematic work in Domergue's style, it will appeal to collectors looking for one of his most representative subjects.
