Régine van den Broek d'Obrenan
Balinese Pottery Market

1931

About the Item

'Balinese Pottery Market', oil on canvas, by Régine van den Broek d'Obrenan (1931). The artist visited Bali in 1931 (among other islands) with her new husband, Charles. The naive painting depicts women tending to their wares in a pottery market or bartering with others; a traditional Balinese compound occupies the background. While it is indeed a naive artist's depiction, it is at the same time of significance historically owing to the fact that it documents life there during this period. The painting is in good overall condition having recently been reconditioned by an art restoration professional. It is newly framed with a French-style linen slip. The artist's initials, "R.B.O." appear in the lower right hand. Please enjoy the many photos with the listing. Upon request a video will be provided. About the Artist: Régine van den Broek d'Obrenan (née Régine de Ganay) was born in 1909 in Paris, into a well-to-do family descended by her father from a family of French nobility and by her mother from a large family of industrialists. She married Charles van den Broek d'Obrenan in 1931 (Hence her initials: R.B.O.) and their travels took them to Bali where this painting was created. She was then part of a group of five young people who embarked in Marseilles on the yacht La Korrigane for an adventure to visit the main archipelagos of the Pacific. Régine was the artist of the group and drew and painted her visual discoveries. She was also known to the French as an explorer and writer - she died at the age of 106 and is buried in Paris' Père-Lachaise cemetery.

  • 19th century French, Surrender of the French at Huningen Fort to the Austrians
    Located in Woodbury, CT
    Wonderful French period copy of the famous painting by Jean-Baptiste Édouard Detaille, which the original is now in a museum in Paris. This piece came from a private collection in New Jersey where it had been since it was purchased in France back in the 1950s. The previous owner was an Art dealer in NYC during the 1950s-70s and she kept some of her favorite paintings, this being one of them. The piece was re-framed in the 1990s In 35 years of dealing in paintings, I have never seen another example of this scene, it is very rare.! History of the scene: In the Siege of Hüningen (27 November 1796 – 1 February 1797), the Austrians captured the city from the French. Hüningen is in the present-day Department of Haut-Rhin, France. Its fortress lay approximately 2.5 miles (4.0 km) north of the Swiss city of Basel and .5 miles (0.80 km) north of the spot where the present-day borders of Germany, France, and Switzerland meet. During the time of this siege, the village was part of the Canton of Basel City and the fortress lay in an area contested between the German states and the First French Republic. The siege occurred within the French Revolutionary Wars during which Revolutionary France ranged...
