About this artwork
A Soldier is an 1879 portrait by the French painter Gustave Caillebotte (1848–1894), executed in oil on canvas and measuring 106.7 × 74.9 cm [3][4]. The work belongs to the collection of A. Jerrold Perenchio [3]. Caillebotte, a member and patron of the Impressionists, painted in a more realistic manner than many others in the group [1].
Artist: patron and painter of the Impressionist circle
Gustave Caillebotte was born 19 August 1848 and died 21 February 1894 [1]. Because of his family's wealth, he acted as a patron to many of his fellow Impressionists, and upon his death his bequeathed collection of their works became the central collection of Impressionism for the French Republic, despite considerable controversy [1]. Although long regarded for his philanthropy and support as a patron and promoter of Impressionism, Caillebotte did not receive an international retrospective of his own work until 1994, one hundred years after his death [1]. He was also known for his early interest in photography as an art form [1]. His most well known work is Paris Street; Rainy Day, which the Art Institute of Chicago acquired in 1964; his work drew more attention in the 1970s [1]. In 2022, France attained possession of Boating Party, known for its close-up action perspective, through a National treasure of France declaration process [1].
Provenance: the collection of A. Jerrold Perenchio
The verified catalogue places A Soldier in the Collection of A. Jerrold Perenchio [3]. The museum record for the work is held by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, which documents the painting as a portrait in oil on canvas [4]. No earlier ownership history is recorded in the available sources [3][4].
Medium and materials: oil on canvas
The work is painted in oil on canvas, a medium consistent with Caillebotte's practice as a painter [4]. The museum record classifies the subject as a portrait [4].
Dating: the 1879 inception
The reference catalogue dates the painting's inception to 1879 [3]. This places the work within the decade of the artist's most productive engagement with the Impressionist circle, a period in which his realistic manner distinguished him from many of his contemporaries [1].
