Marguerite Antoine - Ballerina -olieverf- - Sold

Striking work by Marguerite Antoine, signed lower right. The canvas is in good condition, frame is missing. Marguerite Antoine, a pupil of Alfred Bastien in particular, was educated at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels, where she rubbed shoulders with many future great names in Belgian painting, including, for example, Lismonde, whose circle she continued to visit regularly . Her figurative pictorial work, painted in translucent tones, conveys to us luminous landscapes, magical views of cities full of reverie, but above all she excels at conveying scenes and characters from the wonderful life of the circus and the ballerinas. She drew the landscape of Belgian painting with a light brush. She also died December 10, 1988 at Mariakerke , because, as Paul Caso writes : " Before she left this world, she had expressed a wish: to see the North Sea again. It was granted: she died in Mariakerke on a gray day ". (source: Wikipedia)
