About the Item

Charles HERRMANN-LÉON (born Léon Charles Sigismond HERRMANN) (Le Havre 1838 - Paris 1908) Portrait of a Young Woman Oil on canvas H. 54 cm; W. 41 cm Signed and dated upper right - 1877 Opera lovers will certainly recognize this surname, borne by a well-known bass from the first half of the 19th century. This man was the father of our painter, whose stage name he retained. A student of Eugène Fromentin and Philippe Rousseau, the young Léon Herrmann quickly specialized in animal painting and genre scenes featuring quadrupeds and birds. From his first exhibitions at the Salon des Artistes Française in 1867, he was noted for his talent and the clarity of his works. He received 3rd and 2nd class medals and was quickly ranked Hors Concours. Hermann-Léon presents here the only portrait currently known in his corpus. This young woman with a happy face and a magnificent striped dress is synonymous with true talent. It is a great pity that the artist did not put his talents to the service of this art more often.
