Felix Urbain Cambon : "symbolist Portrait"

Félix Urbain Cambon (1875-1961): "Symbolist portrait", oil on canvas to be restored 73 X 57 cm, mounted in its original frame, a little damaged 94 X 75 cm. The artist, born in 1875 in Sète and died in 1961 in Béziers, studied at the Beaux-Arts in Toulouse and then in Paris under the aegis of Léon Bonnat. Curator of the Béziers museum for 23 years, he left us many portraits of a penetrating intelligence like this one which shows us a woman of atypical beauty portrayed on a green background which particularly highlights the a kind of "sfumato" with a rounded face, similar in spirit to Eugène Carrière or Aman-Jean. I chose to present it as is, canvas to be reattached, especially around the edge where the gaps are visible and with poor old restoration to the left of the face.
