About This Piece

Charles Bichet (1863–1929) Reclining female nude in sepia charcoal, framed, early 20th century

When the artist's hand sketches the naked beauty of a woman in charcoal on sepia-toned paper, the result is this nude by Charles-Théodore Bichet.

Born in 1863 and deceased in 1929, Charles-Théodore Bichet was an artist known for his Post-Impressionist drawings, engravings, and paintings. Trained at the École des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, he was a student of Edmond Lechevallier-Chevignard. He exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français, notably in 1903, 1904, and 1905. In 1884, he taught drawing in the schools of the City of Paris and then in Limoges, where he brought his academic knowledge and taught Post-Impressionism, before settling into his final years.

The beauty of this nude is evident in the softness of the sepia paper. Enhanced by charcoal strokes that caress the form with a sure, delicate touch, the white chalk reveals the flesh with a grace and elegance that is both naturalistic and modest. Like all nudes, it is not a grotesque idea of the woman that is highlighted, but her true and understated beauty, in keeping with the post-impressionist taste of his time. Charles-Théodore Bichet reveals the most important details, leaving aside the artifice, under a characteristic and natural play of light.

The whole is enclosed in a natural brown wood frame, protected by glass, and has a hook on the back allowing it to be hung, on the back, a handwritten certificate from his granddaughter, Madame Salon Jouhaud, attesting to the authenticity of the work.

Fans of post-impressionist nudes and works by 19th-century artists such as Charles-Théodore Bichet, don't hesitate! Treat yourself to this charcoal nude by his hand today.
