Bust Portrait of Eugene Lamy 1888

"Bust Portrait of Eugene Lamy" is an 1888 oil on canvas painting by the French Impressionist Gustave Caillebotte. The portrait depicts Eugene Lamy, a close friend of Caillebotte, in a casual setting with his face turned slightly away from the viewer. The artist's signature loose brushstrokes and vibrant colors create a sense of immediacy and informality, capturing the essence of Lamy's personality. This intimate portrait showcases Caillebotte's adeptness in capturing the likeness of his subjects with an almost photographic realism. The work, now in a private collection, exemplifies the artist's contributions to the Impressionist movement and the artistic world in general.
