Catalogue Note

Critics and colleagues praised Morot for his skillful combination of two seemingly incompatible modes of painting. Making use of the innovations in light and color pioneered by the Impressionists, he satisfied a taste for exacting realism spurred on at the turn of the century by advances in photography.

Aimé-Nicolas Morot was a student of Alexandre Cabanel. (see lot 96)
