Armand Désiré Gautier attributed to. Rectangular framed oil on canvas representing the caricature of a male character standing up and holding in his right hand a red fabric purse. The character is brown, with a mustache and a small beard. He is dressed in an original way with a colored three-pieces suit composed of yellow pants, a blue frock coat on a red jacket and a large white collar shirt, the set is completed by a bow tie and a large black cap. The representation of the character with a small size, a huge head, his look on us with his large smile, staring mockingly, is typical of the 19th century caricatures. Signed «A.Gautier » in red letters bottom right, certainly for Armand Désiré Gautier (1825-1894). Framed with a clear wooden box. Work from the late 19th century. Armand Désiré Gautier is a French artist born on June, the 19th, 1825 at Lille and dead in January, the 29 th, 1894 in Paris. Simultaneously painter, watercolorist, pastellist, and lithographer, he is first known for his genre scenes religious life compositions, and this last detail gave him his nickname of “The painter of the Charity Sisters”. His friendship with Eugêne Boudin and the fact that his paintings were found in Camille Pissaro’s collections let’s supposed his closeness with the impressionist group.
