Bonnaud Pierre (attributed To) – Portrait Of A Woman Of Quality - Early 20th Century

This oil on panel presents a beautiful portrait of a woman. She has gray hair tied up on her head. She has downcast eyes and a thin smile on her lips. Her dress blends in with the heavily textured background, entirely in the style of Pierre Bonnaud, which justifies the attribution.
The work is in good condition, clean. Some minor, invisible touch-ups. It is placed in a modern gilded frame, in perfect condition.

The artist
Pierre Bonnaud is a painter born in Lyon in 1865 and died in the same city in 1930. He first attended the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in his city and then that of Paris, where he was a student of Gustave Moreau. Part of his work, symbolist, reveals the strong influence of this artist. He gradually freed himself from it and painted many portraits of Lyon personalities and genre scenes.
He regularly won medals at the Salon des Artistes Français, where he exhibited from 1890. He also worked for fashion magazines.
Some of his works are exhibited at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Lyon. Others have been the subject of public sales, but Pierre Bonnaud remains a rare painter.
