{"product_id":"the-necklace-albert-belleroche","title":"The Necklace - Albert Belleroche","description":"\u003cp\u003eA delicate lithograph by Albert Belleroche, capturing a woman in a soft, sanguine tone with fluid, expressive lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlbert Belleroche, a British artist of French descent, gained recognition for his mastery of lithography. His work often captures the fleeting expressions and soft contours of his subjects, frequently focusing on women in intimate, domestic settings. This print, titled The Necklace, demonstrates his characteristic approach to the medium, where he employs a delicate, light-handed technique to build form through subtle tonal variations rather than rigid outlines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe subject is rendered in a warm, sanguine tone, a choice that lends a sense of softness and immediacy to the portrait. Belleroche avoids heavy shading, preferring to let the texture of the paper interact with the lithographic crayon. The woman is depicted with a gentle, knowing expression, her gaze directed toward the viewer. The necklace, from which the work derives its name, is suggested with minimal detail, serving as a subtle accessory that anchors the composition without distracting from the sitter's features. Her hair is styled in the loose, voluminous fashion typical of the early twentieth century, framing her face and adding a sense of movement to the static pose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBelleroche was a contemporary of John Singer Sargent, and his work shares a similar interest in the elegance of the period. His lithographs were produced in limited editions, often reflecting a private, observational quality. By focusing on the interplay of light and shadow, he creates a portrait that feels spontaneous, as if captured in a brief moment of quiet reflection. This piece is a fine example of his ability to convey personality and mood through a restrained palette and fluid, expressive mark-making. It remains a representative work of his technical skill and his preference for capturing the grace of his subjects through the versatile medium of lithography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/poisson-et-algues-papier-peint-pigeon-et-pavots-bordure-de-vitrail-maurice-pillard-verneuil\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePoisson et Algues, Papier Peint \/ Pigeon et Pavots, Bordure de Vitrail - Maurice Pillard Verneuil — Maurice Pillard Verneuil\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/paul-joseph-kiederich-in-his-studio-wilhelm-camphausen\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePaul Joseph Kiederich in His Studio - Wilhelm Camphausen — Wilhelm Camphausen\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Albert de Belleroche","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58670965752143,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58671040397647,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58671040430415,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58671040463183,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58671040495951,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58671040528719,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58671040561487,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58671040594255,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58671040627023,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58671040659791,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58671040692559,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58671040725327,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Necklace_Poster_CompositorV1_1788523584761.jpg?v=1788524659","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/the-necklace-albert-belleroche","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
