Rating and value of the artist Gustave Jacquet

Considered a portraitist and genre painter in his own right in his day, Gustave Jacquet leaves behind an artistic identity of his own. This legacy consists mainly of drawings and paintings. Today, prices for his works are rising under the auctioneer's hammer, and his stock is stable. His canvases and other works are particularly prized, especially by French buyers, and the price at which they sell on the art market ranges from €20 to €255,570, a considerable delta but one that speaks volumes about the value that can be attributed to Jacquet's works. In 2017, an oil on canvas entitled La Bienvenue sold for €255,570. 

Order of value from a simple work to the most prestigious 

Style and technique of artist Gustave Jacquet     

Gustave Jacquet is part of academic figuratism, influenced by William Adolphe Bouguereau. He excelled especially in genre scenes and female portraits. He produced drawings, prints and oils on canvas.

Gustave Jacquet, forgotten portraitist

Gustave Jean Jaqcuet (1846-1909) was a French painter who produced genre scenes and female portraits.

He was born in Paris and studied at the Beaux-Arts de Paris, where he attended classes with William Adolphe Bouguereau. He devoted himself mainly to genre scenes, depicting scenes of daily life that were a priori of no historical interest but nonetheless presented a certain pictorial interest. With his great sensitivity, he was particularly interested in the representation of women - and depicted them in simple compositions, without extravagant jewels or clothes. There are some Mannerist influences in his choice of colors, as well as in the treatment of strokes (which are sometimes deliberately blurred to bring lightness to the final rendering, as well as transparency for fabrics).

He presents his works at various Parisian salons and acquires a small notoriety.

He dies in Paris at the age of 63. 

Gustave Jacquet's imprint on his era
