Camille Lemonnier in the Artist's Studio (French: Camille Lemonnier dans l’atelier de l’artiste, Dutch: Camille Lemonnier in het atelier van de kunstenaar) is an oil on canvas painting by Belgian painter Alfred Stevens. The portrait was for many years part of a private collection in Paris, but in 2015 it was purchased by the Heritage Found, and is currently housed at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts in Brussels.[1][2]

Description

The work depicts Belgian author Camille Lemonnier in the artis's studio. He is reading a book while standing up. The studio's interior contains numerous peculiar objects including a reproduction of a drawing by Albrecht Dürer, a terracotta horse, a Noh theater mask on the wall, a fan, a paper umbrella, peacock feathers, and stalks of pampas grass by the window.[2][1]

History

The painting was executed by Alfred Stevens at the end of the 19th century.[2]

The painting passed through several art collections, including that of the Parisian antiquarian André Fabius.[2][3] In 2014, the Heritage Fund of the King Baudouin Foundation purchased the artwork.[2][4][1]

In 2015, having been purchased by the Foundation, the painting was given on long-term loan to the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium in Brussels.[2][4][1]
