About the piece
Painted by Léon Dehaisne around 1880, this oil portrait depicts Alexandre Schanne, the real-life inspiration for the character Schaunard in Henri Murger's stories of Parisian Bohemian life. The scene is rich with detail, showing the subject in a straw hat surrounded by sheep figurines and artist's tools, evoking the playful yet industrious atmosphere of an artisan's studio.
