Standing out against a hilly landscape, perhaps that region of Uzès that the artist Henri Brugnot (1874-1940) loved so much, the surprisingly modern treatment of it contrasts with the attention paid to the details of the portrait, that face chiseled by life in the great outdoors and his clothes, leather jacket, hat and messenger bag. He learned his job both at the Beaux-Arts in Lyon and those of Paris and regularly exhibited at the Salon of French Artists and the Salon d'Automne, I just found a booklet of a fairly dityrhambique exhibition catalog. .. Oil on canvas 116 X 89 cm, unframed, a little relaxed, "in his juice", deserves a little cleaning and varnish that would make even more colors.
