Jean GEOFFROY dit GEO (Marennes 1853 - Paris 1924)
The Prayer, 1924
Oil on canvas signed lower right
H_82 ; W_100cm
In 1924, Géo took part in the Salon for the last time, where he presented La Prière, known as his last major work. A group of very young children wisely surround an older girl in an atmosphere of contemplation. Géo depicts the spontaneity of the children's reactions with great realism: the little girl on the left seems to be sulking at the exercise, while the youngest, in the center, applies herself and looks admiringly at her eldest. This is a rare religious subject in the artist's work.
