Order of value from a simple work to the most prestigious 

Gustave Jacquet's style and technique      

Gustave Jacquet is an academic figuratist, influenced by William Adolphe Bouguereau. He excelled especially in genre scenes and female portraits. He produced drawings, prints and oils on canvas.

Gustave Jacquet, forgotten portraitist

Gustave Jean Jaqcuet (1846-1909) was a French painter of genre scenes and female portraits.

Born in Paris, he studied with William Adolphe Bouguereau at the Beaux-Arts de Paris. He devoted himself mainly to genre scenes, depicting scenes of daily life that were of no historical interest, but were nonetheless of some pictorial interest. With his great sensitivity, he was particularly interested in the representation of women - and depicted them in simple compositions, without extravagant jewels or clothes. Mannerist influences can be seen in his choice of colors and treatment of strokes (which are sometimes deliberately blurred to bring lightness to the final rendering, as well as transparency to fabrics).

He exhibited his work in various Parisian salons and acquired a small reputation.

He died in Paris at the age of 63. 

Gustave Jacquet's imprint on his era
