A portrait of Pierre Loti by Henri Rousseau, painted in 1891. This work exemplifies Rousseau's distinctive style, with its flat planes, meticulous detail, and dreamlike quality.
Henri Rousseau's 1891 painting, 'Portrait of Pierre Loti', presents a striking depiction of the French naval officer and novelist. Rousseau, a self-taught artist, is known for his distinctive style, characterised by flat planes, meticulous detail, and a dreamlike quality. This portrait is a fine example of his unique approach to painting. The sitter, Pierre Loti, is shown in formal attire, including a red fez, against a backdrop that combines elements of both interior and exterior settings. A cat sits beside him, adding an element of domesticity to the scene. In the background, industrial chimneys rise into a cloudy sky, contrasting with the natural elements of trees and foliage. Rousseau's attention to detail is evident in the rendering of Loti's features and the textures of his clothing. The composition is carefully balanced, with the figure positioned centrally and the surrounding elements arranged to create a sense of depth and atmosphere. The painting's blend of realism and stylisation is typical of Rousseau's work, which often combines observed reality with imaginative invention. The overall effect is both charming and slightly unsettling, reflecting the artist's singular vision.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
