About this Item
A beautifully composed pastel drawing of Livens' wife Gertrude and their children, Leo and Evangeline, circa 1897, on brown paper (as favoured by the artist) (360 x 280 mm), framed. In 1885 Livens studied at the Antwerp Academy, becoming a close friend of fellow student Vincent Van Gogh, where he painted the earliest known portrait of Van Gogh. He later studied modern French painting in Paris, being particularly impressed with the work of Manet and Ribot. Livens painted in oils, watercolour and pastel, the latter being regarded amongst his finest work. His wife and children were the subject of several of his drypoints (etchings) undertaken between 1905 - 1912. Excellent original condition. (Framed). Provenance: Robert Smith; Belgrave Gallery London; Private collection. Seller Inventory # 1652A
