HOLLAIN Little is known about this artist, born in Valenciennes in 1761. Date of death unknown. He practiced both painting and sculpture. We find its trace at the Salon of the Royal Academy of 1791 with two terracotta figurines. As for most artists who remained in the provinces after the Revolution, making a living from his art was particularly difficult. And it was then impossible to gain institutional recognition. However, this artist pursued a long career, certainly more or less anonymous, but with authentic talent. As shown by the quality of this very beautiful miniature dated 1836. Its signature is “Hollain”. The initials of his first name are only mentioned in the Salon directory. 10.5 x 10.5 cm 22 x 22 cm with frame Shipping costs in addition to 25 euros for France.
