1870s Bust

EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait depicts the renowned French painter Edouard-Louis Dubufe (1820-1883), captured by the skillful hand of his contemporary, Louis-Julien Franceschi, in 1878. Dubufe, a prominent figure in the European art scene of the 19th century, is best known for his genre paintings and portraits. The portrait is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of France during this period. The artwork, created in the 1870s, is a bust-length portrait sculpture, with Dubufe depicted in a thoughtful pose, gazing intently into the distance. The sculpture is made of wax on a plaster core with a stained plaster base, showcasing the intricacies of Franceschi's technique. The color palette is muted, with Dubufe's hair and beard rendered in a naturalistic brown, contrasting against the white plaster background. The portrait is a fascinating glimpse into the lives of these artists, who lived and worked during a time of great artistic innovation and exploration. Dubufe's occupation as a painter is evident in the meticulous attention to detail and the lifelike quality of the portrait. The portrait is now a cherished addition to the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a testament to the enduring legacy of these artists and the importance of preserving and celebrating the artistic heritage of Europe and beyond.
