Georges Merle

Georges Merle (1851–1886) was a French painter known for his outstanding command of the female form.

He often submitted works to the Salon in Paris.

[1] His father, Hugues Merle, was also a painter.

As Georges rarely signed his early pieces, several of his early works were at first mistakenly attributed to his father.
