Timoleon Lobrichon (1831 Cornod – 1914 Paris) The Young Fisherman.

Timoleon Lobrichon (1831 Cornod – 1914 Paris)
The young fisherman.
Oil on canvas. Relined.
Vibrant portrait of a young fisherman at rest, in which the artist’s sensitivity and pictorial quality combine to create wonderful details such as the lines of water on his feet and their reflections, the sparkle of the button near the red scarf around his waist, the soft clothes and the ribbon of the collar that falls delicately on the blouse like the thread of a bamboo fishing rod. The hands and feet are very well executed, in their delicacy.
The hair, the still tender expression of the face, represent an overall sweetness that fits perfectly into a naturalistic and romantic context, in a perfect fusion of the whole with great artistic mastery.
Signed lower right “T. Lobrichon” and dated “1878”.

Lobrichon was born on April 26, 1831 in Cornod. He was a student of Picot and was awarded medals in 1868 and 1882. In 1883 he became a member of the Legion of Honor.
