SCHUFFENECKER Claude Émile, 1851-1934, - Lot 103
SCHUFFENECKER Claude Émile, 1851-1934, Portrait of a Man, 1885 oil on canvas (restoration) signed and dated upper left 46x38 cm A certificate from Madame Jill-Elyse Grossvogel will be given to the buyer. The complete study carried out by Madame Grossvogel gives us some clues as to the model of our painting, without however being able to identify him with certainty. It could be Jules Bois (1868-1943), a member of the Rose+Croix circle and editor of the esoteric journal Le Coeur, who published several works by Schuffenecker. But it seems that Schuffenecker met him later. Another possibility would be Louis Roy (1862-1907), Schuffenecker's friend and companion from 1884 at the Lycée Michelet, whose age is more in line with the date of our portrait.
