Philip Boileau 1863-1917 Lithograph Kimono Girl
We are offering for sale this lovely Edwardian lithograph by the artist Philip Boileau, who has signed the lithograph within the plate and dated it 1905. The lithograph depicts a beautiful young woman with black hair, who is wearing a yellow kimono with a black band around the neck. Her hair is piled up on top of her head and her head is clasping her chin. An oil painting of similar size to this lithograph was up for auction in France, which was presumably the original.
This is one of a pair of lithographs by this artist that we are currently listing and they have been framed to match.
Philip Boileau was born in Quebec, Canada on 7th June, 1863. His father was a French Diplomat posted to Canada and his mother was American. He lived in Canada, New York and Paris, where some of his early work was created. He moved to America and painted portraits, primarily in pastels, of society ladies. As his work became popular, his 'Boileau Girls', were used for everything from postcards, magazine covers, book covers, calendars and even beer trays. He was a very prolific artist despite his short life.
His most famous work 'Peggy' was believed to have been inspired by his wife Emily Gilbert, who was a drama student and who he married in 1907, when he was 45 and she was 21. Tragically he died of pneumonia at his home in Long Island on 18th January 1917 at the early age of 53.
Two years before his death, he was awarded 2nd price in the Pictorial Review Magazine 'Artist of the Year' in 1915. Reinthal & Newman produced a huge range of postcards of a large number of his works. To see many images of the 'Boileau Girls' please look on google images.
Auction results achieved for works and prints by this artist may be found at artprice (25 listings), artnet (15), arcadja (8) and findartinfo (12).
The lithograph is glazed and has been newly framed in a 2" gilt frame to suit. It is ready to hang.
