Nicolas Bernard LÉPICIÉ (Paris, 1735-1784) - Lot 44
Nicolas Bernard LÉPICIÉ (Paris, 1735-1784)
Bust-length portrait of a young boy, formerly known as
Portrait of Gounod
Canvas.
Old restorations.
40.5 x 32 cm
Carved and gilded wood frame from the Louis XIV period.
From the 1760s, Nicolas-Bernard Lépicié turned to genre scenes, influenced by Chardin
but also by the Dutch masters of the 17th century. His paintings mostly depict isolated figures
with a particular fondness for portraits of pupils or children in simple clothing. Often in small
these paintings express a sense of intimacy with the sitter.
We would like to thank Mr Patrick Michel for confirming the attribution after a visual examination on October 21, 2022.
