Estimate $1,500-$2,000
Labouchere was a descendent of a Huguenot family, which
immigrated to Holland and became engaged in banking and
shipping. While his father pressed him into the family
business, which eventually took young Pierre to America as a
bank manager and partner, in the end his fidelity to the faith
of his ancestors lead him to devote his life painting
historical works relating to the reformation and in
particular, the life of Luther. He was active in the French
Protestantism movement contributing many articles to their
publications as well as illustrating numerous works. In 1846,
he received a 2nd class medal at the Paris Salon
for his painting of Luther translating the Bible with
Melancthon, Pomeranus and Cruciger. It is possible the offered
lot is a smaller version of this work done by the artist for
an admiring supporter or Protestant clergy member.
