Portrait of a nun with a cornet

Very beautiful oil on wood panel, of a nun or beguine. Signed perrodin 1885 lower left. Auguste perrodin was born in 1883 in ain and died in 1887 in puy de dome. His work is primarily religious or even historical, he was noticed by viollet le duc and thus executed a large fresco for the cathedral notre dame de paris (scenes from the life of the virgin). Throughout his career, auguste perrodin worked with equal success in all media, from mural painting, fresco, to glass painting and easel painting. He was active throughout france. For this oil, it is necessary to highlight the attention to detail: the hands encircling a missal, the cross at the end of her rosary and finally the tender smile of this nun wearing a cream-colored cornette. In a beautiful used condition, there is a lack of paint at the top right, and some small superficial chips. Height: 42 cm. Width: 33 cm. Thickness: 1.5 cm. Weight: 0.7 kg. Fast and careful shipping.
