Description: | Signed: yes Description: Little is known about this artist, although he was a painter who caught the eye of Joséphine Bowes just before her death. This painting was rejected by the Salon in 1873 and exhibited instead in the Salon des Refusés, where Joséphine saw and bought it. Although grotesque in subject matter, it is not dissimilar to Manet's Bon Bock, a portrait of a bearded man smoking, with a glass of beer in his hand, which was exhibited in the 1873 Salon to great acclaim. | Subjects: | portrait | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Lepesqueur, Hyacinth Florentin (French artist, active 1873) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8978... | Go to resource |
