The Changing of the Guard in St. James - Raoul Dufy - Fine Art Oil Painting
Product Overview
The Changing of the Guard in St. James - Raoul Dufy - Fine Art Oil Painting suits both traditional and modern interiors. As a fine art oil painting, it works as a standalone focal point or as part of a dining room gallery wall, and unlike a print it is genuinely hand painted in oils.
The Story Behind the Painting
La relève de la garde à Saint-James, 1933
gouache on paper
Fanny Guillon-Laffaille will include this work in the forthcoming supplement to her Raoul Dufy catalogue raisonné.
Dufy dedicates this work to Carroll Carstairs, an American art dealer who served in the Grenadier Guards during World War I, and was awarded the Military Cross for his services. Carstairs went on to marry Susan Burks, sister of Ellen Yuille Blair, who inherited this piece. Blair and her husband Wolcott Blair were notable figures in their own right, regularly appearing in high society magazines, and were highly admired for their excellent sense of fashion and design from the 1920s through the 1960s.
Collectors often choose this fine art image when searching for fine art oil painting that feels substantial rather than decorative or disposable.
