Girl Reading a Book (1906). Charles Francois Prosper Guérin (French, 1875-1939. Oil on canvas. Hermitage, St. Petersburg.Guérin was a student of Gustave Moreau at l’École des Beaux-Arts. He was an admirer of Monet and Renoir, and took the technique of the Impressionists and applied it in his own style, with unusual and original use of color. He painted portraits, but his boldness expresses itself best in his nudes and vampish women. -- source link
