Head of a Child (Emmanuel)

Charles Angrand was a French painter and printmaker associated with the Neo-Impressionist movement of the late 19th century. Working in small-scale oils and pastels, he employed pointillist technique to capture intimate domestic scenes and landscapes with a delicate, luminous palette. Active in Paris during the 1880s and 1890s, Angrand exhibited alongside other divisionist painters and contributed to the theoretical development of color theory in modern painting. His work remained understated in scale and ambition, focusing on quiet moments of daily life rendered through disciplined application of complementary hues.
