Jules-Frédéric Ballavoine

Jules Frédéric Ballavoine (1842–1914) was a French painter and draughtsman. He painted portraits, landscapes, genre and historical scenes and nudes. Other sources give the later date of 1855, although this is incompatible with the fact that he exhibited at the Paris Salon from 1865.

Ballavoine studied under Isidore Pils at the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris, and afterwards produced nature studies. He fought in the Franco-Prussian War.

He was a member of the Société des Artistes Français. He last exhibited at the Salon in 1911, less than three years before his death in 1914 at the age of 71. Some sources give the earlier death date of 1901.
