About the Item

Henri BOUCHÉ-LECLERCQ (1878-1946) Portrait of the painter Louis Degallaix (1877-1951), 1910 Oil on canvas Signed, dated “1910” and dedicated “à mon ami Degallaix” lower right 55 x 46 cm Son of Auguste Bouché- Leclercq (1842-1923), a historian specializing in Greek and Roman antiquity and author of numerous publications, Henri Bouché- Leclercq was born in Paris in 1878. He trained at the École des Beaux-Arts with Joseph- Paul Blanc and Léon Bonnat before setting up his own studio in the Montparnasse district, at 89 rue de Vaugirard. Henri Bouché-Leclercq painted an oil portrait of the philosopher Émile Boutroux, which was mentioned by the critic Louis Vauxcelles in his accounts of the 1906 Salon. He became a member of the Salon des artistes français and received a silver medal in 1933. In 1937, he was a member of the jury for the Universal Exhibition held in Paris. He was also curator at the Jacquemart-André Museum. Not only a painter, Henri Bouché-Leclercq is also a recognized illustrator. He illustrated Paul Verlaine's Poèmes saturniens for Albert Meissen in 1914 and collaborated with Auguste Leroux in the illustration of Sapho, mœurs parisiennes by Alphonse Daudet for the Librairie des amateurs in 1925. The work we propose is a portrait of the painter Louis Degallaix (1877-1951). This painter, who also frequented the studio of Léon Bonnat, distinguished himself in particular in the painting of flowers and landscapes. Henri Bouché-Leclercq realized his portrait in 1910, the same year that Louis Degallaix exhibited at the Georges Petit gallery (March 1910). We know of another portrait of the artist painted ten years later by the painter Eugène Ullman (ill.1). The artist uses the pictorial technique of grisaille by using several shades of the same color: brown. This monochrome treatment through a sepia cameo is reminiscent of the famous portraits painted around 1900 by Eugène Carrière (1840-1906) (ill.2). It allows a perfect fading of the shadows and lights.
