Painting depicting "La becquée", or woman feeding her child, accompanied by the young maid behind the scene.
Seated in a high chair, the young child stares at his mother while eating, a gaze she returns with tenderness.
This square canvas is painted in tondo, reinforcing the intimate character of the scene, almost as if seen through a keyhole.
Oil on canvas signed lower right "J.CORABOEUF" and dated 1909.
Jean Coraboeuf was born on November 06, 1870 in Pouillé-les-marais (Loire Atlantique) into a modest family. After becoming a notary's clerk, his passion for drawing led him to Paris, where he entered the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in 1891 and became a pupil of Jean-Léon Gérôme.
Winning the Grand Prix de Rome in 1898, this artist of refined draughtsmanship entered the Villa Medicis in Rome.
This prestigious prize, crowning a brilliant academic career, opened the door to a career as a society portraitist. He painted portraits of numerous political figures (Aristide Briant), artists and intellectuals (Edmond Rostand)...
In 1910, he won a medal at the Salon des artistes français, where he was a member, as well as at the Salon des Indépendants.
Today, his work is exhibited at the Musée d'Orsay, the Musée Napoleonica in Rome and the Musée de Saint Malo.
