Brief Artist Biography
Eugene Pechaubes was born in Pantin, a commune in the northeastern suburbs of Paris in June 1890. He was a renowned 20thcentury French artist, well known as a painter of sporting scenes, equestrian and military subjects. He was an artist of the French school, who specialized in painting horses and military matters, especially those dealing with themes of the Second Empire. He was also well-known for his horse racing and polo paintings. Pechaubes was often commissioned to perform very accurate portraits of the most famous horses and their owners and admirers. Among his popular motifs were also Arabian equestrian games. He also worked as a poster artist.

Pechaubes studied the body, movement and horses? attitudes as well as their inherent elegance. His early career focused on military matters, which gave him the foundation to form a style of his own in the field of racehorse portraiture.

His early works mainly consisted of military scenes, especially Napoleonic scenes from the second empire, while his later works were almost exclusively racing scenes and equine portraits of famous racehorses. The art historians Gerald Schurr and Pierre Cabanne are quoted as commenting that Pechaubes? work as a portraitist of horses, earned him the title of ?Little Master?.

At the Acad?mie Julian, P?chaubes was a student of ?douard Detaille and later exhibited in numerous salons. He painted numerous finishes of major horse races. Based on the chronology, the work entered is probably the picture of a 1931 race: Longchamp, Grand Prix de Paris (1931), Barneveldt will beat Taxodium & Tourbillon (oil on canvas, 33 x 92 cm).
