Here is the third Academic Portrait currently listed on eBay France. Maximilien Luce (1858-1941) is a well listed French painter and print maker. His works hang in a number of famous French museums. The canvas has some crackle in the hair. I believe this is caused by improper application of the ground to the canvas during the canvas preparation or perhaps faulty varnish. Over time it separates and causes what you see on the canvas. Still, this is a very nice quality academic work by a well listed French master.
