Adolphe Piot (1850 - 1910) Oil on Canvas, Signed Middle Left, Measures (17.5 x 14.5 inches) w/frame (23 x 20 inches) Adolphe Piot was born in Dijon, France in 1850. He traveled to Paris as a young man and was a student of Leon Cogniet during the late 1870's. Cogniet instilled within Piot a love for the human form. As a genre painter, or rather a painter of the female face, Piot had few equal. Piot's debut at the Paris Salon came in 1880. Three years later, he had an exhibition at the Societaire des Artistes Francais. His work is part of the collections at the Brooklyn Museum, in New York, and at the Rouen Museum, in France.
