Jean Alaux was apprenticed to Pierre Lacour in Bordeaux and Pierre Narcisse Gu\u00e9rin in Paris. He completed his formation in Rome at the Villa Medici, from 1817 to 1821. There, he befriended Ingres whose studio he represented in a lovely painting now in Mus\u00e9e Ingres-Bourdelles, in Montauban. Ingres also painted two portraits of Jean Alaux (fig. 1). An acknowledged history painter, Alaux exhibited at the Paris Salon from 1824 onward. He was appointed the director of the French Academy in Rome in 1846, and elected a member of the Academy of Fine Art in 1851. As one of Louis Philippe\u2019s favorite painters, he was responsible with the decoration of the Galerie des Mar\u00e9chaux, Galerie de Louis XIII and Galerie de l\u2019Empire in Versailles. He was also commissioned the restoration of Primaticcio\u2019s frescoes in the Ch\u00e2teau de Fontainebleau, the decoration of The Estate General rooms in Versailles and the execution of huge paintings representing the Battles of Denain, Valenciennes and Villaciosa. His career went on during Second Empire, as he was commissioned to paint the cupola in Luxembourg palace and to restore the frescoes painted by Rosso Fiorentino in the gallery of Fran\u00e7ois.<\/p>\n

There is no reason to question the attribution suggested by the inscription on the verso, which moreover strongly resembles the artist\u2019s signature as it is visible on many other drawings, such as Apollo among the Shepherds (Drouot estimation, June 13 2014, lot 24). Quite characteristic of the artist also are the subject and, with regards to the graphic style, the use of vigorous white heightening and the figures\u2019 physical type.<\/p>\n
