Charles Cottet 1863-1925 Breton Woman Painting

Description

Charles Cottet (French, 1863-1925), an antique oil on panel depicting a solemn procession of Breton schoolgirls rendered in profile, each dressed in traditional regional attire with uniform white coifs and colorful garments. The rhythmic repetition of form and restrained palette reflect Cottet's association with the Bande Noire and his sensitive portrayal of Breton life, emphasizing dignity, atmosphere, and regional identity. The composition conveys quiet movement and communal presence through careful alignment of figures and subtle tonal harmonies. Presented in an antique gilt frame and bearing labels to the verso, including a Parisian framing label from Chambaudet and Fils and a partial red export or customs stamp. Provenance South American collection.

Dimensions: 22.5 X 28.5 X 2 in.

Condition: Good overall antique condition with visible craquelure, toning, and paint loss along the edges. The frame exhibits typical storage wear and losses along the edges and corners.
