Henry de GROUX (1866 - 1930 - Lot 32
Henry de GROUX (1866 - 1930 )Napoleon with the pyramids, before 1899Pastel. Signed lower right (signature overflowing on the mounting). (Leaf of yard glued by the edges on cardboard). 79.4 x 59 cm "". This pastel is a study executed by Henry de Groux for a series that would be entitled Napoleon Emperor of the East. De Groux aspires to guide Napoleon's dream beyond accomplished facts. The Napoleon he shows us in this composition is a sort of almighty sultan, constellated, streaming in various tones and perched on a majestic camel. A curious piece in terms of its design and richness of colour". (Yvanhoé Rambosson, "Henry de Groux" in L'Œuvre de Henry de Groux, (collective work), Paris, La Plume, 1899, p. 72).
