About Artwork: (1909) "Staring straight at us while nonchalantly holding a cigarette is the Hungarian-born art dealer Joseph Brummer (1883?1947), who had opened his gallery in Paris that same year. Brummer dealt in African works of art and was one of Rousseau’s most devout patrons. Seated in a wicker chair covered in red velvet, the young art dealer is set against a landscape. The work is characteristic of Rousseau’s portrait-landscapes, in which he incorporated landscape to hint at his sitter’s identity. The self-taught artist was known for his elaborate paintings of imaginary jungles, with a variety of wild animals and colourful vegetation. His unconventional style was not well received at the beginning of his career, with critics describing his technique as ‘childish’. When Rousseau submitted his work The Hungry Lion Throws Himself on the Antelope to the Salon d’Automne in 1905, he gained critical recognition. The work prompted a group of admirers to form, including the young Avant-gardists Pablo Picasso and Robert Delaunay, and his loyal art dealer Joseph Brummer." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
