Pierre BILLET
Cantin (North), 1837 – Cantin, 1922
Oil on canvas
38.5 x 28.5 cm (48 x 36.5 cm with frame)
Signed lower left “Pierre Billet”
Stamp of the canvas merchant "Tasset
Lothe / 31 rue Fontaine” (active in Paris between 1887 and 1899)
Nice 19th century black wooden frame
Pierre Billet painted the people living between Boulogne and Yport on the french coast. His realistic style reminds of the art of Jules Breton, whom he knew well and with hom he studied. He also knew the painters of the Wissant School, Adrien Demont, Virginie Demont-Breton and the Duhems, Henri and Marie.
Our painting is a double portrait, and its charm lies in the touching relationship between the mother and daughter of a french fishing family in the late 19the century.
The style is indeed that of Jules Breton. For example, the Young Fisherwoman by Jules Breton (Douai Museum) and another young fisherwoman by Billet (also at the Douai Museum) can be compared to our painting. It is the art of social realism which was a whole school in France in the 1870s/1890s. With attention to clothing details with here the headdresses, the mother's bag and the shoes. And the well-painted faces, without concession but with a lot of humanity. The composition, however, and the beautiful colors - here the red, blue and yellow - remind of the academic know-how (Jules Breton studied with Ingres and Horace Vernet in Paris).
Pierre Billet's paintings are in many museums, in France (Douai, Lille, Le Touquet) and abroad (L'Ermitage, the Glasgow museum)
