Louis Robert Carrier-Belleuse

A WALK IN THE WOODS

Oil on panel. 21 x 27 cm.
L. CARRIERE-BELLEUSE 73.

L. R. Carrier-Belleuse was the son of a sculptor, and was active in this field as well as being a painter. Alongside bawdy Paris street scenes, which today are significant not only for their artistic but also for their documentary value, his oeuvre mainly encompassed middle-class genre scenes. Elegantly dressed figures strolling through sun-dappled forests were a particularly beloved motif of this artist.

Provenance
