About the Item

Ernest Eugène Lefebvre (1850–1889) Antique oil painting on canvas Signed and dated Picture size: 26 x 39.5" (66 x 100cm) Outside Frame Size: 33 x 46.5" (84 x 118cm) Ernest Eugène Lefebvre was a 19th-century French painter best known for his refined still-life compositions, which are represented in collections such as the Ferens Art Gallery. Born in France in 1850, little is documented about Lefebvre’s personal life or formal training. He emerged as an active painter in the latter half of the century, gaining recognition for his meticulous approach to still-life art. Lefebvre specialized in still-life painting, focusing on everyday objects rendered with precision in light, shadow, and texture. His work reflects the French academic tradition while demonstrating exceptional compositional sensitivity. Though detailed exhibition records are scarce, he participated in contemporary French art circles, and his paintings attracted collectors during his lifetime. Lefebvre’s paintings have appeared in numerous auction records and remain in public and private collections, including the Ferens Art Gallery. Despite his relatively short life—he died in 1889—his contributions endure as part of the broader 19th-century French still-life tradition.
