On canvas on stretchers.Condition
The condition is typical for a picture of this age, including some discolouration and craquelure. Some small areas of paint loss. Inspection under UV light reveals no restoration. Marks and scuffs to the frame.

Artist Biography
The son and grandson of artists, Albert Huyot (1872-1968) was a pupil of Diogène Maillart and Gustave Moreau. Initially his work was done in a Post-Impressionist manner, but he soon became influenced by Cubism. He exhibited regularly at the Salon des Indépendants, the Salon d’Automne and the Salon des Tuileries, and also participated in the Grande Exposition in Brussels in 1910. Huyot was a friend of Henri Matisse, and around 1912 his work reveals the influence of Fauvism. André Derain was another particular influence. After 1920, however, Huyot seems to have abandoned the rigour of his earlier work in favour of landscape painting. An exhibition of his work was held at the Galerie Berthe Weill in Paris in 1926.
