Claude-Emile Schuffenecker et Paul Gauguin se rencontrent à la charge de l'agent de change de Bertin où ils sont tous deux employés au début des années 1870. Schuffenecker occupe ses loisirs en prenant des cours de dessin; il est d'ailleurs fort probable que son exemple ait incité Gauguin à en faire de même. Bien que l'oeuvre de Schuffenecker témoigne d'une sensibilité plus proche du courant impressionniste (voir lot 58), l'artiste apporte un soutien précieux, à la fois financier et moral, aux peintres de Pont-Aven. Il leur trouve entre autres un local à Paris, le Café Volpini, qui leur permet de présenter leurs oeuvres durant l'Exposition Universelle de 1889.
Claude-Emile Schuffenecker and Paul Gauguin first met at the stockbroker Bertin's office where they were both employed in the early 1870s. Schuffenecker had enrolled in drawing classes to fill his leisure time, and it is indeed very likely that his example incited Gauguin to follow suit. Although Schuffenecker's style is more closely aligned to impressionist trends (also see lot 58), the artist brought both a precious financial and moral support to the painters of Pont-Aven. It was Schuffenecker who secured the Pont-Aven painters an exhibition space at the Café Volpini in Paris during the 1889 Universal Exhibition.
