The artist Th\u00e9odore Chass\u00e9riau, recognised as one of the great exponents of the Romantic era, died young from tuberculosis at the age of 37. Son of a French diplomat whose consular activities had taken him to the Caribbean, the young Th\u00e9odore, born of a Creole mother, lived on the island of Saint-Domingue for only a short time, travelling to Paris at the age of three. Chass\u00e9riau demonstrated a taste for drawing when very young and in 1830, aged eleven, he entered Ingres\u2019 studio in the \u00c9cole des Beaux- Arts de Paris. When Ingres left for Rome in 1835, appointed director of The French Academy, Chass\u00e9riau, still too young, continued his apprenticeship in Paris. He began presenting works at the Salon in 1836 and met with great success in 1839 for his Suzanne au bain <\/em>and V\u00e9nus Anadyom\u00e8ne <\/em>(The Louvre, Paris, inv. RF 410 and RF 2262), which were particularly admired by critics. Chass\u00e9riau spent time in Rome between 1840 and 1841 in the company of the painter Henri Lehman. Renowned for his numerous portraits, his decorations of Parisian churches (Saint-Merri, Saint-Roch and Saint-Philippe du Roule), his large decorative cycle for the Cour des Comptes<\/em> (destroyed in 1871 during the Commune, surviving fragments are kept in The Louvre), Chass\u00e9riau embodies a very personal romanticism, built by virtue of the memory of line initiated by his master, Ingres, and an engagement with a shimmering palette prompted by a trip to Algeria that brings him closer to the colourful compositions of Delacroix.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

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

Our drawing, signed and dated 1839, was made at the beginning of Chass\u00e9riau\u2019s visit to Italy and belongs to a creative period still marked by Ingres\u2019 teachings. Marc Sandoz has published around ten cartoon studies that depict women and children in landscapes that the artist gave, for the most part, to his descendants or friends[2]<\/a>. Dating mainly from the years 1839-1841, this series of \u2018small maternities\u2019 drawn from life or composed in the studio, is not linked to any specific project[3]<\/a>. We can compare our sheet more precisely with two studies executed on the same date that use a similar technique: Two women in a landscape, one of whom is seated and carrying a child, <\/em>fig. 1, art market[4]<\/a>) and A young mother and two children in a landscape<\/em>, fig. 2, private collection[5]<\/a>).<\/p>\r\n

<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Like his master, Chass\u00e9riau draws inspiration from Ancient Greek and Italian Renaissance models to create his monumental, sensual female figures. He also uses features from family and friends, including those of his sisters Ad\u00e8le and Aline, to sketch in his figures\u2019 faces. Thus the profile of the young woman in our study could be that of Ad\u00e8le, echoed in A double portrait of the artist’s elder sister<\/em><\/a> drawn from life between 1841 and 1843[6]<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

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

Is the subject pagan or religious? This deeply poetic image exudes a profound tenderness through the gesture of filial and maternal love: the eagerness of the child standing on tiptoe holding out a flower to his mother; the exchange of loving glances and the mother’s hand gently resting on the child’s head. Looking at such a display of affection, multiple readings are possible: at first glance we might see an evocation of spring with the scene unfolding in front of a field of flowering wheat \u2013 the child, through his gesture, bringing proof of the renewal of nature to his mother. Furthermore, we might read the detail of the immaculate white veil covering the young woman’s hair as an allusion to Mary with the flower proffered by the child \u2018Jesus\u2019, a lily \u2013 a symbol of purity.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

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

Either way, both of these themes highlight the rebirth and purity of Nature. If the Ingresque influence remains tangible in the precision of the line contouring the figures, the spring landscape prefigures the creations of Pierre Puvis de Chavannes, Gustave Moreau and Maurice Denis in its freedom and simplicity.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

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

Despite the years that separate us from its genesis, the perfectly conserved state of this drawing allows us to appreciate the work as its creator conceived it. The celestial blue of the paper has not altered and reveals the artist\u2019s work \u2013 using the tonality of the ground to catch the light by leaving certain areas of the paper untouched, then drawing in the characters\u2019 volumes in black pencil highlighted with white gouache.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n
