Albert BARTHOLOMÉ
The Artist’s Nephew, Prosper Raymond de Fleury, Lying in Bed
Relatively few pastels by Albert Bartholomé have survived to this day. (In her 2017 monograph and catalogue raisonné of Bartholomé’s work, Thérèse Burollet lists a total of nineteen pastels by the artist.) Among stylistically comparable examples is a pastel portrait of the artist’s first wife Prospérie reading, dated 1883, in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
