The shading and typically vertical, shallow compositions and rendering of
facial types of this drawing are typical of Subleyras’ style. This sheet show
some similarities to attributed drawings such as «St Benedict Resuscitating
an infant», in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of New York (inv.
1974.354), or «St Ambroise forgives Theodoric» in the Louvre (inv. 32926),
especially in its treatment of shading.
97 [French school]
Grisaille of a niche with playing putti. 18th c.
Oil on canvas, 109 x 49,5 cm, unsigned (some scratches at lower part and upper
left, multiple lacunes with paint loss, small tear in canvas with paint loss at upper
right centre). Unframed.
300 / 400 €
Oval-shaped study sheet with a portrait of a French courtly figure. The
harnassed right arm and baton probably hint at his military role. The drawing
is overlayed with a squaring grid to facilitate copying the design for a painting
or a print.
(Detail)
Three putti having fun in an alcove. One riding a goat, another dressing a
fluted column with garlands. Nice rococo panel, possibly intended as an interior
decoration.
