Alexandre IACOVLEFF (1887–1938) - Lot 91
Alexandre IACOVLEFF (1887–1938) Portrait of the President (Ana Lopez Ross), Skyros, 1936. Red chalk and pencil on paper, inscribed, signed, located, and dated in the lower right corner, “To the dear President, from the photographer of the classical expeditions, A. Iacovleff Skyros, 1936.” Height: 37.7 cm Width: 27.4 cm Ana Lopez Ross (1885–1974), the second wife of Chilean billionaire Arturo Lopez Perez, always welcomed and supported Alexandre Iacovleff. She often hosted him in Neuilly, at her château in Vosves, as well as aboard the Gaviota. To express his gratitude, the artist presented her with several self-portraits bearing respectful dedications. Beginning in 1927, he created several portraits in which he captured her elegant and austere demeanor. Here, in this red chalk drawing, we see her pensive gaze and serious expression. Even reclining on a deck chair, this woman commands respect. We thank Ms. Caroline Haardt de La Baume, an expert on the work of Alexandre Iacovleff, for writing this description. This lot will be included in the Alexandre Iacovleff catalog raisonné currently in preparation. Expert: Cabinet Perrazzone Brun
