Signed "A. Piot Normand 1877" (lower left)
Oil on canvas
Canvas: 18" high x 22 1/2" wide
Frame: 30 1/4" high x 25" wide
A fine portrait of a young woman by French genre painter Adolphe Étienne Piot. His idealized depiction of women and girls are full of sentimentality yet possess a technical skill that is of the highest level.
Piot was born in Dijon France in 1850. He traveled to Paris as a young man and became a student of Leon Cogniet in the late 1870s. Cogniet instilled within the young artist a love for the human form and certainly his teachings were not wasted. Piot's debut at the Paris Salon came in 1880, followed three years later by his first showing at the Societaire des Artistes Francais. An honorable mention was given for his exhibit of 1890 at the Salon.
