French portraitist and historical painter Francois-Pascal-Simon Gerard was especially gifted in rendering the female form. Gerard’s wonderfully executed Chloe and Daphnis contains the Neoclassical attention to anatomy, the warmth and emotion of the Romantic sensibility, and even a hint of the emerging Barbizon School of landscape art. This beautiful Mixed-Media tableau would be a great addition to Classical decorating projects in the Memorial Area and luxury Mansions in Houston, Texas.
