Guy Pène Du Bois (1884-1958)

Mother, Daughter and Doll
signed 'Guy Pène Du Bois' (lower right)
oil on canvas
36 1/8 x 29in (91.8 x 73.7cm)

Footnotes

Provenance
Terry De Lapp Gallery, Los Angeles, California.
Acquired by the late owners from the above, February 19, 1980.

Guy Pène Du Bois' Mother, Daughter and Doll exhibits the artist's refined and modern style that broke away from more conventional approaches to portraiture during the early-20th century. In the present work, as is common with Pène Du Bois sitters, both mother and daughter can be interpreted as taut with elusive, distant gazes. The sitters' connection is evident in their seated pose as the mother wraps her arm around the young girl.
