Jean-Léon GÉRÔME (1824 - 1904) - Lot 75
Jean-Léon GÉRÔME (1824 - 1904)
Two studies for Suites d'un bal masqué, circa 1857
Black pencil.
(Stains, slightly oiled).
23 x 16.5 cm each
(Our two studies offer an interesting insight into the artist's research when choosing the composition for his oil on canvas now in the Musée Condé, Chantilly (inv. PE 533). While the posture of the group supporting the wounded Pierrot remains almost unchanged from that of the final version of the painting, that of his adversary changes. Instead of turning his back to the defeated Pierrot, he turns towards him, while his witness seems ready to grab him by the arm and pull him away from the scene.
