ATTRIBUTED TO JEAN-JACQUES DE BOISSIEU LYON, 1736 - 1810
Portrait of a bearded man
Black stone and red chalk
41 x 30 cm - 16 1/8 x 11 13/16 in.
Portrait of a bearded man, black and red chalks, monogrammed lower right
PROVENANCE:
Private collection, France.
This beautiful study of a head with long, fine, wavy hair can be compared to a group of studies of bearded men executed around 1789-1793. De Boissieu engraved his Portrait de centenaire de Lyon in 1789 and
we know of a three-pencil study for Le roi David jouant de la harpe dated 1792 (Sotheby's sale, London, July 7/8, 2011, no. 127, repr.). Two other studies of elderly men's heads are quite similar, presented in 2001 at Jean-François Baroni and in 2006 at Galerie Terradès. To the best of our knowledge, the "DB" stamp in the lower right does not correspond to a listed workshop or estate stamp.
