About the Item

French school of the late 19th century Portrait of an old Breton woman Oil on paper32 x 25 cm (46 x 36 cm with the frame) Inscription on the back in pencil "Rozenn" Good condition The French realistic school of peasant life had several trends including that of academic painters who focused on rendering the beauty of the peasant condition. These are painters who studied in workshops of academic painters like Gérôme, Cabanel and Lesquien for example. This school gave hyper realistic scenes and portraits at the end of the 19th century, in Brittany in particular. We think of painters like Istres Contencin, Lionel Royer or Jules Trayer for example. Our painting is part of this movement. We know the model by an inscription on the back "Rozenn" which is "Rose" in Breton. A true piece of painting that reminds of the expressive heads of old men and women in the 18th century in France, but also the beautiful, very expressionist paintings of northern old masters like Jacob Jordaens.
