    Phillipe De Rougemont

    Portrait Of A Woman With Folded Arms

    A magnificent oil on canvas depicting a middle-aged lady in profile with her arms folded. What do you get from her? We’re seeing strength and a sense of defiance.

    The artist, Louis Philippe Edgar de Rougemont (1891-1965) was born in Lille, France, and studied at the Académie Delecluse in Paris. He was the son of Pastor Alfred de Rougemont and Baroness Franziska von Stain zu Lausnitz.

    In 1919, he moved to Stockholm where he established a studio and married Sigrid Wahlström. Here, he became known for producing fine interior scenes and enigmatic portraits - including several for Swedish dignitaries.

    The portrait is housed within a highly decorative carved and gilded foliate frame - a work of art in itself.

    Inscribed on the reverse.

    Conservation & History

    We care profoundly about our role as custodians and every piece in the collection has been assessed by our conservator. When required, we undertake professional restoration carefully using reversible techniques and adopt a light touch to retain the aged charm of each work. We also often restore frames rather than replace them as many are original and selected by the artists themselves.
