Breton Boy in Profile, painted by Roderic O'Conor in Brittany in 1893 and now in the Musée d'Orsay — an archival art print, framed or unframed.

Unblended strokes of pink, green and ochre laid side by side in the manner of Van Gogh: the moment an Irish painter stepped into the European avant-garde.

About the Artwork

Painted in Brittany during O’Conor’s most experimental period, this portrait marks his break from tradition into the vanguard of European modernism. Influenced by Vincent van Gogh and the Pont-Aven movement, O’Conor uses unblended strokes of vivid pink, green and ochre to create a portrait that is both raw and revolutionary — a profound expression of human character and artistic innovation.

About this work

Breton Boy in Profile was painted by the Irish artist Roderic O'Conor (1860–1940) in 1893, during the Brittany years when he was working alongside the Pont-Aven painters. A young Breton boy is shown in strict profile, built from the vivid parallel stripes of pure colour that are O'Conor's signature. It is catalogued in French as Garçon breton de profil. The original is oil on panel, 31.1 × 44.5 cm, and hangs not in Ireland but in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris (RF MO P 2021 1), bought for the French state in 2021. This print is an open edition, made to order and shipped worldwide.

Framed in white, natural wood or black, or unframed. Printed on archival matte paper and made to order.
