Gabrielle Cot

Gabrielle Cot (French pronunciation: [ɡabʁijɛl kɔt])[1] is an oil-on-canvas portrait painted in 1890 by William-Adolphe Bouguereau.

[5] The painting measures 45.7 by 38.1 centimetres (18.0 by 15.0 in) and bears the artist's signature, W-BOUGUEREAU, and the date of 1890 in the lower left corner.

[6] The painting was gifted to Madame Duret by Bouguereau on the occasion of Gabrielle's marriage.

It was sold for the first time on November 10, 1998 in New York at Sotheby's without knowing its traceability and how it arrived in the United States.

Contrary to the catalog raisonné, this painting was never sold at Phillips on May 15, 1983; it was exhibited a year later in 1999 at the Newington Cropsey Foundation.
