Lot description

Henri Gervex, French 1852-1929- Study of a figure in Classical dress, standing in a rocky landscape and holding an amphora and a phiale; oil on canvas, signed 'H. Gervex' (lower left), 27.2 x 21.9 cm. Note: Henri Gervex worked in the atelier of Pierre-Nicolas Brisset (1810-1890) before studying under Alexandre Cabanel (1823-1889) at the École des Beaux-Arts, and later becoming an apprentice to Eugène Fromentin (1820-1876). Gervex produced a number of mythological scenes, typically depicting loosely-painted nudes in wooded or rocky landscapes, much like the present work.
