拍品資料及來源
Antonio de La Gandara, a contemporary of John Singer Sargent and Giovanni Boldini, was a celebrated portraitist in Paris. Born in Spain, he relocated to the French capital, where he studied under Jean-Léon Gerome and Alexandre Cabanel. De La Gandara was also influenced by his own artistic heritage, namely the portraits of his countrymen Vélasquez and Goya. Completed in 1904, the present lot depicts Alberto del Solar with his two daughters, Felisa and Enriqueta. The Chilean ambassador, Del Solar, also a poet, belonged to a glittering set of cultured South American expatriates living in Paris during the Belle Époque.
