Alexandre Denonne

Portrait Of A Man With A Pipe

This early 20th-century portrait by French artist Alexandre Denonne (1879-1959) depicts a gentleman with a pipe. It’s energetically rendered with the paint applied in broad, spirited, brushmarks. Note the scarf, a cascade of white and blue, laid down with energy. While the hat derives its form from a central raised point.

Denonne was an accomplished painter of impressionism. His landscapes and scenes are similar in style to those of Camille Pissarro (1830-1903) who was probably a key influence during his training.

Signed in the lower left.
