Henri-Paul Mottez
Henri-Paul Mottez (1855–1937) was a French portrait painter and artist.
Life
He was born in London 1855 to Victor Mottez and his second wife, Georgina Page.[1] Henri-Paul was trained in the Académe Julian under Jules Lefebure, and ultimately entered the École des Beaux-Arts under Lehmann.[2] The Mottez family was highly religious and devoted to the House of Bourbon, and so the July Revolution in 1830 came as a catastrophe to them. Henri-Paul Mottez died in 1937.
Henri-Paul Mottez's painting of his father's studio 'In the Studio of the Artist, Oil on Canvas' was auctioned at Christie's New York, in 1989.[3]
