Catalogue Note
Elève de William Bouguereau, Delobbe débute au Salon de 1861 et il y expose régulièrement des portraits, des scènes de genre et des paysages animés. Les sujets féminins, peints dans une technique précise et porcelainée inspirée de son maître, sont fréquents dans son oeuvre. La vente Collins-Naylor les 1er et 2 février 1905, présente un tableau de sujet identique, La jeune mère, peut-être notre tableau.
