This sheet is a counter-proof reworked by the artist. It was made by pressing a humidified sheet against an initial red chalk drawing to obtain its reversed image by transfer. The original drawing by Lagren\u00e9e, although it is not localized nowadays, relates to a series of male and female academies (anatomical studies) made to be engraved by Louis-Marin Bonnet. These prints have been studied and catalogued by Jacques H\u00e9rold who enumerated about thirty of these nude studies engraved after original drawings by Lagren\u00e9e (see Louis Marin Bonnet (1736-1793). <\/em>Catalogue de l\u2019\u0153uvre grav\u00e9<\/em>, Paris, published by the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 pour l\u2019\u00e9tude de la gravure fran\u00e7aise, 1935).<\/p>\n

Fig.1<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This sheet is precisely the counter-proof of the \u00ab\u00a0twelfth female academy\u00a0\u00bb (fig. 1) catalogued by M. Herold (n\u00b0 71).<\/p>\n

Lagren\u00e9e signed this counterproof with pen and ink above the inversed initial signature in order to make it visible. The counterproof technique often resulted in a fainter reversed image and in eroding the original drawing: therefore, the artists sometimes had to rework over both. This is what happened here: to heighten the image, Lagren\u00e9ee went back over the outlines of the figure with red chalk and over the drapery with brown wash. He also added black chalk in the figure\u2019s eyes to intensity her glaze and make it more real. In his study on Lagren\u00e9e, Marc Sandoz mentioned how his teacher at the Acad\u00e9mie Royale, Carle Van Loo, could have influenced him in these anatomical studies. But it is maybe from Charles Natoire, director of French Academy in Rome, that Lagren\u00e9e learnt how to enhance the glance of his red chalk nude figures by using black chalk, a trick Natoire also used (see for instance his Study for the Figure of Pan<\/em><\/a>).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The fact that the sheet was lavishly reworked and signed in the right direction gives indication as to its destination: of large dimensions and a pleasant and decorative subject, it was undoubtedly meant to be sold to amateurs.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One of the most important French artists of the second half of the 18th century, Louis Lagren\u00e9e perfectly illustrates the transition from the decorative and frivolous style often called rococo to a graver style marked by the influence of Antique subjects, usually designated as Neo-classicism. \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
