Most of his pictures

a thematical overview

Introduction:
I found 11 works of Bureau. I render them all. In the subscriptions I will give suggestions which works might have been exhibited at the ‘impressionist’ expositions in 1874 and 1876 and at the Salon; 1 work is often given more than once as an option. See link for an account. For explanations and sources see at the bottom of the main page about Pierre-Isidore Bureau.
Further down this page I will render a thematical overview of the titles of his (exhibited) works. Enjoy!

Sources: I found less than 10 pictures of Pierre-Isidore Bureau:
In books on Impressionism only Walther shows a work of Pierre-Isidore Bureau (R3,p55). On the internet Wikimedia renders 2 pictures of Bureau (iR6), the-Athenaeum 3 (iR2), eclecticlight 4 (aR1), theartstack 3 (iR68), Joconde 3 (iR23), Google-images 7, including a rare one (iR10). Artnet mentions auctions of 3 works without rendering a picture ( iR13). Yet most sources render the same paintings so in total I found less than 10 works of Bureau. Additionaly I found two etchings after 2 works he had exhibited at the Salon of 1868 (R265,no8+9=iR40).
