Est: $20,000 - $30,000
'Paul and Virginia'. 1851. Oil on canvas. Signed and dated lower right. Provenance: Charles Tyson Yerkes (1837-1905) NYC; His sale, The American Art Association, NYC, April 5-8, 1910 (First day, lot 32, 59 in the catalogue). Note: 'Paul and Virginia' is a novel by Jacques-Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre (1737-1814), first published in 1788. The story is set on the island of Mauritius under French rule, then named Île de France. The novel's title characters are friends since birth who fall in love. It records the fate of a child of nature corrupted by the artificial sentimentality of the French upper classes on the eve of the French Revolution. The novel is recognized as perhaps Bernardin de Saint-Pierre's finest work. Property from a White Plains, NY collection. Dimensions: 33.25" h x 26.25" w. Frame: 36.5" h x 29.75" w.
