Characteristic of the Art Nouveau period, this painting, signed only "Gauthier", could be a work of early 1900 by Camille Gauthier (Norroy-les-Pont-à-Mousson, 1870 - Montricourt, 1963). After training at the Beaux-Arts in Nancy, Camille Gauthier entered the Ecole des Arts Décoratifs in Paris in 1891. He then worked for Louis Majorelle for a few years as a decorator, before setting up his own cabinet-making business. No doubt the frame is as important here as the paint in creating an object whose spirit is close to that of the Ecole de Nancy at the time of Emile Gallé.
