Germain Paget, Portrait Of A Young Lady In Black
A beautiful mid-19th-century portrait of a young lady in black by French painter, Germain Paget (1817-1884).
Paget was born into a family of watchmakers and lived in Morbier, eastern France during the early part of his life. He initially trained at the Royal College in Dole under Jean Séraphin Désiré Besson (1795-1864) but soon headed for the School of Fine Arts in Paris.
He’s primarily known for his religious scenes and genre paintings, which often graced the walls of the illustrious Salon, but he also painted portraits - particularly of his family and local dignitaries.
Several of his works were as a result of commissions by the church including a piece entitled ‘Saint François Xavier Baptizing And Healing The Sick Indians’ for Notre-Dame Cathedral. He also produced numerous copies of old masters.
Later in life, Paget returned to his hometown of Mobier but this particular piece was painted in 1844 - during his time in the Capital.
The portrait is signed/dated in the lower left.
Medium: Oil on canvas
Overall size: 19½” x 24” / 50cm x 61cm
Year of creation: 1844
Provenance: France
Condition: Very presentable with areas of light restoration and some craquelure. Canvas relined.
Artist’s auction highlight: £4,481 achieved for ‘Les Petits Délinquants’ at a French auction in 2004. Brave Fine Art is a boutique art dealership based in the picturesque Malvern Hills, England. Established in 2017, our clients include private collectors and interiors designers throughout the UK, USA and Canada.
We tend to focus on decorative art that captures the imagination - from monumental 17th-century portraits through to characterful vintage landscapes. Every piece in the collection has an interesting story to tell and we work hard to discover the hidden history behind each one.

Terms and conditions
Please be assured that we inspect every painting, drawing or print to check for issues relating to its condition during its time here with us. When we notice a fault or potential problem, we will note this down on the item's condition report, which can be found within each listing. We take various steps to ensure that your artwork will stand the test of time but we're unable to offer any warranties or guarantees as we're just one custodian in a potentially long line of previous owners.
Our inspections include a check for any signs of woodworm, historic or otherwise, as this is not unusual in antique frames or stretchers. If we discover any small holes, we treat the wood with a solution which states that "its deep penetration ensures effective protection for many years and prevents re-infestation". With this in mind, it's very unlikely that any future issues will occur, especially given that the wood may also have been treated by previous owners. However, as mentioned above, we are unable to provide any warranties or guarantees - just be assured that we care.
Also, many of the paintings include hanging equipment, namely wire or string. Sometimes this is already present when we purchase an item so we check to see if it's been attached correctly. However, we can't test the durability of this equipment as many of the paintings are sold quickly. So please do seek any advice if you're unsure how to hang your paintings correctly, especially if they're heavy, and do check on them from time to time.
If you have any questions at all, please just ask.
