EVENEPOEL, Henri
(b. 1872, Nice. d. 1899, Paris)

Henriette with Large Hat

1899
Oil on canvas, 72 x 58 cm
Musées Royaux des Beaux Arts, Brussels

Evenepoel's favourite subjects were his family and friends, whom he painted with tenderness and insight. His full-length portraits, usually simply posed against a neutral background, owe much to the example of Edouard Manet and James McNeill Whistler.
