He exhibited at the Paris Salon between 1864 and 1870 and at the same time in various Provincial Salons (Toulouse, Besançon, Rouen, Le Havre, etc.) where he was awarded an award for what made his reputation: ornithological study paintings. He was also a professor of graphic design and imitation at the colleges of Rennes and Laval. We know of a copy by Ingres of Christ handing over the keys to Saint-Pierre in the church of Treignac (Corrèze). The artist died on December 2, 1882, in Paris.

Composition with jugs, oil painting by Pierre Coquet
Located in Montfort l’Amaury, FR
Composition with jugs, oil painting by Pierre Coquet Reference number F486 Framed with a natural oak floated frame 43 x 72 x 2 cm (48 x 77 x 3,5 cm frame included) This work is painted with oil on a paper that is laid on a canvas and placed in a made to measure wood strectcher. Stamp of the signature in the bottom right and stamp of workshop on the back. With simple, soft colors, Pierre brings these objects together in a neutral atmosphere, enhanced by this orange, which adds a luminous touch to the composition. Mostly broad brushstrokes, sometimes barely a sketch in the background. The material effects stand out well, the light coming from the right reinforces the contours of each of the objects presented. Still lives are one of Pierre favourite subjects. Always in a very quiet atmosphere, with simple objects or alive nature. Provenance : Workshop of the artist (stamped and numbered on the back) Pierre Coquet (1926-2021) is a French painter who was born in Limas near Lyon, France.

Composition with a jar, oil painting by Pierre Coquet
Located in Montfort l’Amaury, FR
Composition with a jar, oil painting by Pierre Coquet Reference number F488 Framed with a natural oak floated frame 48 x 70 x 2 cm (53 x 75 x 3,5 cm frame included) This work is painted with oil on a paper that is laid on a canvas and placed in a made to measure wood strectcher. Stamp of the signature in the bottom right and stamp of workshop on the back. In this composition, the brushstrokes are thicker and the touches of white revive the overall effect, which has been treated in rough, earthy tones. An orange background can be seen underneath, lighting up the materials in places. The play of light completes the rendering of the modeling. In this painting, there's all the humility of a painter who wants to give life to these objects while remaining simple. Still lives are one of Pierre favourite subjects. Always in a very quiet atmosphere, with simple objects or alive nature.
