Born in Paris in 1821, Fran\u00e7ois L\u00e9on Benouville began his apprenticeship in Fran\u00e7ois \u00c9douard Picot’s studio at the \u00c9cole des Beaux-Arts in 1837. The younger brother of landscape painter Achille Benouville, he made his debut at the 1838 Salon. After winning the Grand Prix de Rome for painting in 1845, L\u00e9on left for the Villa Medici with his brother, who had won the Grand Prix for historical landscape painting the same year. In Italy, L\u00e9on devoted himself to history painting, developing a predilection for religious subjects. On his return to France, he gained public recognition with Saint Francis of Assisi, Transported Dying to Santa Maria degli Angeli, Blessing the City of Assisi, exhibited at the 1853 Salon and purchased for the Mus\u00e9e du Luxembourg (now in the Mus\u00e9e d’Orsay, Paris). He died prematurely at the age of 38 from typhoid fever.

\nOur drawing should be considered in relation to two other black chalk studies: A Scene with a Spinner at the Spinning Wheel (1)<\/em> (fig. 1) from the Pierrey-Laforest collection in Paris and A Study of a Spinner (2) <\/em>(fig. 2) from the Mus\u00e9e des Beaux-Arts in Rouen. L\u00e9on Benouville undoubtedly conceived these studies with the aim of creating a painting, the subject and location of which we have not yet been able to identify.<\/p>\n

Condition report \u2013 Very good condition. Traces of glue on the four corners of the reverse side of the sheet.   <\/p>\n
