Description |
English: Bouguereau represents himself here at 54, in the prime of life, the Legion of Honor at the buttonhole, in a solemn pose, three-quarters, but the face of the front. The comparison with photographs of him, however, allows us to see that he has benefited his physiognomy by reducing the ear and nose. Bouguereau made eight self-portraits at different times in his life. He made a counterpart to the portrait of Elizabeth Jane Gardner, a painter of American origin whom he married in 1896. The two works painted in 1879 formed a pair and constituted, for Bouguereau, a pledge of love for his fiancée. Français : Bouguereau se représente ici à 54 ans, soit dans la force de l’âge, la Légion d’honneur à la boutonnière, dans une pose solennelle, de trois quarts, mais le visage de face. La comparaison avec des photographies de lui nous permet toutefois de constater qu’il a avantagé sa physionomie en procédant notamment à la réduction de l’oreille et du nez. Bouguereau a réalisé huit autoportraits à différents moments de sa vie. Celui-ci fait pendant au portrait d’Elizabeth Jane Gardner, peintre d’origine américaine qu’il épousera en 1896. Les deux œuvres peintes en 1879 formaient une paire et constituaient, pour Bouguereau, un gage d’amour envers sa fiancée. |
