Monsieur Coqueret (Father) (Portrait de Monsieur Coqueret [Père])

Discussion

FROM THE BARNES FOUNDATION’S CATALOG

This portrait is of Narcisse Coqueret, a compass maker and an early collector of Monet's work. Coqueret had a factory near Vétheuil, a small town on the Seine River where Monet lived from 1878 to 1881; his acquisitions from the artist tended to be pictures of the local landscape. He commissioned this portrait in 1880, and Monet also painted a portrait of Coqueret's son, Paul.
