Leon Herbo (1851-1938)
Leon Herbo is a Parisian, whose works are well known at the Salon exhibitions. He was first presented to the public by ambitious compositions of the style usual to students of the art schools, but presently began to make a reputation as a portrait painter. In the intervals of his engagements in this department of art, he produced pictures of the manner of subject of "Cherries and Roses," and as these found increasing favor, and secured him commissions for the decorations of the mansions of wealthy Parisians, he gradually increased his productiveness in this direction, and through it he is best known to the world at large.
