The Statuesque Bather, by Auguste Renoir's last Student Ca 1910 Impressionist Female Nude French Oil on Canvas

1900 - 1920
Description

If something about this painting seems familiar, it is for good reason! Dating from the 1910s, it is a work by Lucien Boulier (1882-1963), who was effectively Renoir's last student. Might the Master have helped a little?!

Boulier had studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he won a first prize medal before withdrawing to study on his own at the Louvre. He was particularly attracted to the work of the Impressionists, especially the work of Pierre-Auguste Renoir, with whom he went on to study privately. Boulier's work was shown in a number of exhibitions during the 1920s, most notably at Galerie Charpentier in Paris in 1923; and at Wildenstein Gallery in New York in 1924.

The delightful statuesque bather presented here is an oil on canvas relined measuring 22 x 27 cm. It bears the Lucien Bulier estate sale stamp at the lower right, and hence comes directly from the artist's studio. Boulier's studio was dispersed in 1963.

The overall size including an attractive frame is 35 x 40 cm.

FAQs

French Impressionist bather studies focus on human forms positioned within natural landscapes, emphasising soft light effects, visible brushstrokes, and harmonious colour palettes inspired by plein air painting techniques popularised around the turn of the 20th century.

Artists during this period typically executed works using oil-based pigments mixed with natural binder oils, applied directly onto stretched linen or cotton canvas supports, often utilising varied brushwork techniques and impasto layers.

Authentic works from this period usually feature period-appropriate canvas weave, natural age-related craquelure, oxidisation on the reverse side of the support frame, and distinctive, fluid brushwork characteristic of French atelier training.

Positioning figurative oil paintings above a console table or dark wooden sideboard creates a focused visual point, contrasting classic figurative artistry against clean modern lines and contemporary wall tones.

Keep the canvas away from direct sunlight, extreme temperature fluctuations, and high humidity to prevent cracking or paint loss; clean surface dust gently with a soft dry brush rather than liquid cleaners.
