This month’s focus highlights three sheets that have captured our attention.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\n\r\n

Offered to Marie-Antoinette’s chambermaid, Madame Gougenot, by an admirer on 15th August 1787, 1789 and 1790, they are full of charm and humour. Their creator Luc Vincent Thiery de Sainte-Colombe, a self-taught draughtsman, often added after his signature “without ever having learnt to draw”. An amateur in the literal sense of the word, “the one who loves”, Luc Vincent Thiery de Sainte-Colombe was an artist who enjoyed and pursued drawing his entire live. His first known work dates 1762, whereas one of his last works was executed in 1820, the year he turned 87, and, as he specified, drawn “without glasses”!\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Little information is readily available on this ardent devotee of drawing, although his works are in the collections of various museums – including New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art! – and on the art market. We are delighted to bring these three sheets to your attention and allow you to learn more about this artist, who was courteous, cultured and mischievous at the same time, and about Madame Gougenot, whose name can be found in various biographies of Marie-Antoinette, but whose identity is sometimes confused.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

These three signed and dated gouaches, in remarkable condition and still in their original mount and frame, are rare examples of amateur graphic production of the 18th century. They were offered by Luc Vincent Thiery de Sainte-Colombe to Madame Gougenot on the occasion of her patron saint\u2019s day on 15th August 1787, 1789 and 1790.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Through the combination of antique and Anacreontic references with architectural settings evoking the groves of Versailles, the artist created small lovely scenes that celebrated the Graces for their beauty and charms and, by assimilation, the recipient of the drawings. The latter was also complimented with short amiable verses inscribed at the bottom of the sheet. The artist explained some of his illustrations with a text on the back. Thus, on the original cardboard backing of the frame of The Festival of the Graces (La F\u00eate des Gr\u00e2ces)<\/em> of 1787, there was a sheet containing explanations, a poem and small drawings. The arrangement of the elements, both refined and humorous, on the sheet makes it quite an exceptional item in its own right. In the laudatory text on the back of the Offerings to Graces<\/em> of 1790, the artist explained that he wanted to represent the ancient Boeotian town of Orchomenus to pay tribute to his muse.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

An amateur artist, as he regularly called himself, Luc Vincent Thiery de Sainte-Colombe and his oeuvre were studied by M. Collet in a biographical entry published in the Bulletin de la Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Arch\u00e9ologique historique et scientifique de Soissons<\/em> of 5 December 1887 (p. 125-136). Despite this extensive study, today he is little known and biographical entries on him are rarely extensive. A lawyer by training, Thiery de Saint-Colombe entered the Ministry of War where he remained for many years, while dedicating his leisure time to cultivating his interest in writing, drawing and engraving. The author of grammar books and of guides and almanacs, such as Almanach d\u2019un Voyageur<\/em> (1783) and Guide des amateurs et des \u00e9trangers voyageurs \u00e9trangers \u00e0 Paris<\/em> (1787), which he illustrated himself, he was also a prolific draughtsman, mostly drawing views of towns, gardens, castles and houses, but also of architectural capricci and stage designs. His production spanned from the 1760s until the early 1820s, and the artist almost never forgot to sign, date and comment his works. Related to the artists Jean Godefroy and Charles Monet through his marriage, Thiery de Sainte-Colombe probably received their encouragement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Among his identified works, we can mention a set of delightful views of the Anglo-Chinese gardens of the castle of Mortefontaine<\/a>,in the collection of the National Archives. They are dedicated to Joseph Bonaparte \u201cin gratitude for the kindness which His Majesty bestows on his son-in-law and his family\u201d by the artist who modestly described himself as a simple amateur \u201chaving never learned to draw\u201d and, given his age, no longer hoping to further improve.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In the Paris Institut National d\u2019Histoire de l\u2019Art (INHA) there are two albums <\/a>ccontaining sheets by his hand and works by other members of his family, as well as a Recueil de fontaines, bosquets et fragmens d\u2019architecture de divers auteurs<\/a><\/em> (Collection of fountains, groves and architectural fragments by various artists), a factitious compilation of elevation drawings, plans and fountain projects put together by the artist, which shows his interest in architecture.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A drawn Architectural Capricccio <\/em> <\/a> and the etching of the same composition <\/a>are in the Metropolitan Museum of New York, whereas four etching plates are in the Soissons Museum, according to M. Collet.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"Some sheets by his hand that sometimes appear on sale give picturesque evidence of the interiors and of the lifestyle of his time, such as The Family Bouquet or The Garden of the Paternal House of Mr. Paulmier in Nemours.<\/em> All of these works, both na\u00efve and spiritual, replete with humour and cultivated references, bear witness of his diligent and talented draughtsmanship, but they only form a small part of his work. Doubtless many more certainly remain to be discovered.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

An \u201cindefatigable artist\u201d, \u201cof peaceful character\u201d, who \u201creserved for ladies the civility and politeness of the past\u201d in the words of his biographer, Luc Vincent Thiery de Sainte-Colombe also loved balls, as it can be seen in a self-portrait in which he represented himself in wig and short breeches \u201cdancing the entrance of a sailor\u201d of M. Feuillet, in one of the albums in the INHA\u2019s collection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A member of many learned and literary societies, he also frequented the royal court where he could make acquaintance with the recipient of the present works, who is indicated by her name, Madame Gougenot. As her patron saint\u2019s day was 15th August, she was named Marie. In all probability, this Madame Gougenot is Marie-Antoinette\u2019s chambermaid whom Madame Campan describes as the wife of a \u201cgentleman, a very wealthy landowner, receiver-general of taxes, Butler of the King, died a victim to the revolution. \u00bb (M\u00e9moires sur la vie priv\u00e9e de Marie-Antoinette, reine de France et de Navarre,<\/em> 1822, posthumous publication in 1823, vol. 1, p. 295)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Marie-Madeleine-Xavi\u00e8re de Collignon did in fact wed, in 1786, Louis-Georges Gougenot, Lord of Croissy in the church of Saint-Roch, (M\u00e9moires de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 acad\u00e9mique d\u2019agriculture, des sciences, arts et belles-lettres du d\u00e9partement de l\u2019Aube, 29, vol. 92)<\/em>. Her spouse was the son of Georges Gougenot de Croissy (1721-1784) administrator of the East India Company and honorary secretary to the king and his consort Marie-Ang\u00e9lique Virany de Varennes (1727 – 1787), both portrayed by Greuze (Royal Museums of Belgium, 1758, inv. 6553 and New Orleans Museum of Art, 1757, no. 76268). In 1787, Louis-Georges Gougenot took over as King\u2019s Butler after the resignation of his brother-in-law Antoine Meslin, the husband of his sister Ang\u00e9lique (Almanach de la cour<\/em> by William Ritchey Newton, p. 3101). He remained faithful to the king and queen until the last hours of the monarchy and was executed by the Revolutionary Tribunal in 1794. The Liste g\u00e9n\u00e9rale et tr\u00e8s-exacte des noms de tous les conspirateurs (General and very exact list of all the conspirators),<\/em> no. III, no. 638, drawn up in after the documents of this tribunal indicate his address in rue Le Pelletier and his age as 56 years which is probably a transcription error. As he was born in 1758, he must have been 36 years old. Madame Gougenot, who is reputed to have dressed the queen the day before her flight to Varennes and who was interrogated on 23 June 1792, long survived her husband as she was living \u201cin Paris in retirement and affluence\u201d when Madame Campan was writing her Memoirs on the private life of Marie-Antoinette, M\u00e9moires sur la vie priv\u00e9e de Marie-Antoinette, reine de France et de Navarre.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

While these three graphic tributes prove the artist\u2019s undoubted admiration for Madame Gougenot, she was not his only muse. A certain Madame Barbereux also received a drawn tribute from the artist in 1786, The Ceremony at the Temple of Gaiety<\/em>. With his pleasant and spontaneous draughtsmanship Luc Vincent Thiery de Sainte-Colombe expressed the carefree, witty and liberated art de vivre<\/em> of the 18th century, which unleashed free expression of fantasy and personal talent, even with the advent of great social upheavals. These three drawings are a rare testimony to the refinement of the practice of drawing and poetry as one of the main means of distraction, but also of social exchange, in the daily life and privacy of the educated circles of the time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n
