EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, created by the renowned artist Henri J. F. Rousseau, captures the essence of Pierre Loti, a prominent French writer and author of his time. Painted around 1891, this oil on canvas masterpiece showcases Loti's enigmatic personality and distinctive features. In the image, we see Loti wearing a traditional fez hat, which adds an exotic touch to his appearance. His piercing gaze is intensified by his thick moustache and soulful eyes that seem to hold countless stories within them. A small tabby cat rests gracefully on his shoulder, symbolizing both companionship and mystery. Loti holds a cigarette between his fingers with an air of sophistication and nonchalance—a testament to the artistic bohemian lifestyle he embraced. The composition exudes an aura of naivety through its simplistic style while still capturing every intricate detail that defines Loti's character. Displayed at Kunsthaus in Zurich, Switzerland, this painting has become an iconic representation of both Rousseau's unique artistic style known as "Le Douanier" and Pierre Loti himself. With its timeless appeal and historical significance, it continues to captivate art enthusiasts from all over the world.
