\"\"<\/a>This spectacular drawing bears two head studies borrowed from a larger sheet illustrating a famous revolutionary theme,\u00a0The\u00a0<\/em>Heroine of Saint-Milhier<\/em>, dated from 1794 (fig. 1, cf. \u00c9tienne Br\u00e9ton and Pascal Zuber,\u00a0Louis-L\u00e9opold Boilly (1761-1845)<\/em>, 2 vol., Arthena, 2019, vol. 2, p. 522-523, n\u00b0 262 D). This work illustrates the legendary bravery of a young Vendean woman who protected her children and resisted assaults from scavengers. This story was reported in the\u00a0Recueil des actions h\u00e9ro\u00efques et civiques\u00a0<\/em>presented to the Convention Nationale by \u201ccitoyen\u201d L\u00e9onard Bourdon(Paris, an II, 1793-1794, p.\u00a025, n\u00b0 28). To be distributed in every school of the recent Republic, it was intended to stimulate the civic mindedness of the young generation and provide painters with a repertoire of the French Revolution great deeds to illustrate.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Republican government created the Concours de l\u2019An II, inviting artists \u201cto represent on canvas the most glorious events of the French Revolution of their choosing\u201d in order to restore public commission and stimulate Republican propaganda, by honoring the regime\u2019s new heroes. Boilly eventually chose to paint the\u00a0Triumph of Marat\u00a0<\/em>instead of the\u00a0Heroine of Saint-Milhier<\/em>, a theme already largely covered by other artists such as the painters\u00a0Fran\u00e7ois-Andr\u00e9 Vincent, Marguerite G\u00e9rard and Martin Drolling and engravers such as Cazeneuve & Thouvenin (BN Estampes, 52 B 9861) and Debucourt (BN estampes, 85 C 1719 11, cf. Claude Langlois, \u00ab\u00a0Les d\u00e9rives vend\u00e9ennes de l\u2019imaginaire r\u00e9volutionnaire\u00a0\u00bb, in\u00a0Annales. Histoires, Sciences Sociales<\/em>, Cambridge University Press, 4th<\/sup>\u00a0year, n\u00b0 3, 1988, pp. 771-797).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The subject, drawn from the revolutionary imagination, is the story of a young Vendean woman, resisting hordes of scavengers. Surrounded by her four children, she is aiming a gun at the bandits and another at a gunpowder barrel, prepared to blow up the house and her own family rather than fall onto the assailants\u2019 hands.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This lively study prepares the figures of two of the heroine’s children, the young girl on her right side and the baby she is holding on her knees. The artist focuses on the expression of terror on their faces, accentuating the light and shadows effects by marking the edges with powerful black chalk and the volume with delicate touches of white chalk.<\/p>\n
