He held his first solo exhibition at just 17 and later trained at the Académie Charpentier and the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Drawing upon the French Post-Impressionist tradition, he developed a highly personal figurative language centered on fashionable women, picturesque gardens and elegant seaside retreats. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Dated 2010 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Canvas: 31 1\/8\" high x 24 3\/4\" wide (79.06 x 62.87 cm)\u003cbr\u003e Frame: 40\" high x 33 3\/4\" wide x 1 3\/4\" deep (101.6 x 85.73 x 4.45 cm) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Provenance:\u003cbr\u003e Private collection, The Netherlands\u003cbr\u003e M.S.
