My father passed away last month and I was given several art peices. I have 4 of these that appear to be a series called. Les accidente de la chase. They all appear to be drawings of horse accidents. I found the name of the artist and it appear that he is french.
He had gotten these from his adoptive mother who lived in Oklahoma and San Franciso. Her husband traveled alot from what we had heard through the years. We did not know them as they passed away earlier. We do not have any or much family history since it was an adoption and they did not have any other children or relatives that we knew.
Oriental young lady, seated on carpet, mostly in muted greys and and blacks background. Lady is seated in left profile with left leg tucked under her right slightly elevated leg. Right let is out in front of subject, Right arm it crossed to hold her left knee, left arm is supporting slightly to her rear. Torso is turned 3/4 to artist, straight long black hair. Painting is in good condition, no cracking of the paint, been in dark hallways.
The painting is a large sofa size painting that my mother acquired in the 1960's. It has a plate on the front of the frame that says, "J. H. Duflot, 1956". My mother said that the J stood for Jacques. It has the original frame on the painting.
