REQUEST INFORMATION
Educated at the School of Fine Arts in his native Beaune, Hyppolite Michaud left for Paris to perfect his skills with the painter Léon Cogniet (1794 - 1880).
In 1846, at the age of 23, he exhibited at the Salon; the French state bought him a canvas at the 1865 Paris Salon.
Favouring painting from nature, he joined the naturalist movement, whose fame was spread by Emile Zola and Gustave Flaubert.
In the quiet of a room, a young seamstress sitting three-quarter seated receives the light from outside, taking up the hem of a blue tablecloth.
As the girl's face receives this soft light, the satin-blue tablecloth is adorned with rays of light.
This chiaroscuro work highlights a simple act of everyday life.
His works are in the museums of Beaune, Dijon and the Rijskmuseum in Amsterdam.
