description

Oil on Canvas  of Bathsheba by Émile Aubry

France: circa 1928

Emile Aubry was born in Algeria but moved to Paris as a child. In 1904 he became the pupil of Gerome, later transferring to the atelier Carolus-Duran. Never forgetful of his childhood in North Africa, where he continued to travel, Aubry produced many orientalist works before turning to portraiture and the grand "Neo-Classical" style which became fashionable in the 1920s.
