Over the course of his career Zacharie Vincent produced more than six hundred works, of which only around fifty are known to have survived. He produced paintings and drawings of all kinds, from self-portraits and portraits to landscapes and conventional genre scenes. The works reproduced here present an overview of most of the themes he treated and the techniques he employed. Many of Vincent’s works are undated, which makes the task of establishing a chronology challenging.
