About the Item

Dessin d'étude de cheval du XIXᵉ siècle, réalisée au crayon. Le rendu est fin et précis en ce qui concerne le dessin du cheval, tant sur le plan anatomique que dans la capture de l’attitude. Le dessin montre une maîtrise de la proportion et du volume, suggérant une main formée dans la tradition académique française, mais également nourrie par les écoles de dessin naturaliste et par les études de mouvement. Le dessin du personnage tenant le cheval est traité de manière totalement secondaire, on l'aperçoit seulement et le dessin ne cherche pas à être précis quant au sujet du personnage. Le cheval est représenté dans une pose stable, qui permet d’apprécier le soin porté aux muscles, à la structure osseuse et à l’anatomie. La main s’apparente à des artistes tels que Théodore Géricault, pour ses nombreuses études de chevaux, ou Carle Vernet, qui pratiquaient des croquis où l’observation du vivant est essentielle. Géricault a en effet laissé de nombreuses “horse studies” préparatoires, comme celles exécutées au début du XIXᵉ, nerveuses et expressives, où le crayon sert à capter tension, posture et anatomie. Le support est du papier de teinte légèrement biscuit/ivoire, créant un ton chaud qui rehausse le dessin et offre un contraste élégant avec le crayon. L’encadrement, sobre mais raffiné, fait ressortir le dessin sans le distraire. Dimensions à vue: H: 22.5 cm (8.66 inches) / L28.5 cm (11.02 inches) Œuvre anonyme du XIXᵉ siècle, vraisemblablement issue d’un atelier académique ou d’un artiste ayant étudié les chevaux en atelier ou sur le motif. Le style rappelle aussi certaines œuvres de la French School plus tardive, fin XIXᵉ, académique, spécialiste de la figure équine et de son rendu réaliste.
