Description: | The three Le Nain brothers - Antoine, Louis and Mathieu - only ever signed their works 'Le Nain', making it difficult to ascertain who painted which picture. Although they are best known for their dignified peasant genre scenes, they were also portraitists of no mean skill, and their work was rediscovered and much appreciated in the nineteenth century. While the treatment of this young man's face bears a resemblance to a group portrait by the brothers in the National Gallery, it is more crudely painted and is probably the work of a follower. | Subjects: | portrait | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Le Nain family (French painters, active 17th century) Æ Attributed to circle of Previously attributed to British School | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9180... | Go to resource |
