Original DRAWING captioned and signed lower right "Ferdinand
Bac"| 21.5 x 16.8 cm.
Profile portrait of Prosper Mérimée.
Pen and brown ink drawing of Mérimée in profile (right), signed and captioned "Prosper Mérimée 1868 d'après un croquis de mon père. Ferdinand Bac".
A very lively portrait of Mérimée two years before his death, with his keen eyes and tight mouth, both hermetic and curious, at the end of his rich career.
It was through his father, Charles-Henri BACH (1811-1870), natural son of
Jérôme Bonaparte, that Ferdinand Bach was introduced to the court of the Second Empire, and became acquainted with its leading personalities.
