Original Description
The captivating Portrait D'un Couple (pair) by French artist Lucille Foullon (1892-1983) exudes an atmosphere of quiet intimacy and restrained elegance. Painted circa 1925 during the Art Deco era, Foullon's distinctive style blends academic precision with modernist simplification—elongated figures rendered in smooth, sculptural planes emerge from a muted palette of dove greys and champagne tones. The paired portraits showcase Foullon's signature psychological depth, capturing bourgeois subjects through subtle gestures and keenly observed expressions that reveal emotional complexities beneath polished surfaces. Though less known than her male contemporaries like Tamara de Lempicka, Foullon's portraits represent an important feminine perspective in interwar portraiture, bridging traditional salon painting and avant-garde tendencies. The diptych format reinforces the theme of connection while allowing each subject to maintain individuality—a masterclass in portraying human relationships through paint.
For contemporary interiors, these portraits demand thoughtful placement to honor their sophisticated aura. Consider symmetrical hanging in a formal dining room above a credenza, where the couple’s graceful forms would mirror the balance of fine china displays. The soft metallics in Foullon’s palette pair exquisitely with brushed nickel fixtures or mercury glass accessories in modern spaces. In minimalist offices, the diptych’s moderate size (typically around 24×36 inches per panel) creates a focal point without overwhelming—position them flanking a built-in bookshelf to energize blank walls. Upholstery fabrics should echo the paintings’ gentle sheen—think velvet or raw silk in pewter or blush tones—while avoiding bold patterns that might compete with the portraits’ delicate modeling. Lighting is crucial: directional picture lights at 45-degree angles will enhance the subtle tonal gradations Foullon achieved through her meticulous glazing technique.
