About the Item

Pierre Olivier DUBAUT (1886-1968) Head studies of a horseman, Geoffrey Larcher, 1936 Signed lower center Watercolor, black and red chalks and pencil on paper 22 x 27.5 cm Titled and dated on the reverse of the framing "Geoffrey Larcher, 1936" In quite good condition : foxings and stains (see photographs please) In its original frame : some damages : 34 x 39.5 cm Pierre Olivier Dubaut is particularly well known for his watercolours of horsemen and everything to do with horse racing and riding. Here is a fine example. Pierre Olivier Dubaut was born in Paris, he had a great predilection for horses, which he represents in many paintings and watercolors. He etched sometimes on the etch and on the stone. He was a member of several artistic societies, he especially admired Theodore Gericault, he had collected a remarkable collection of drawings and watercolors and also some paintings by this painter. He collected also drawings by Delacroix and Guys. In collaboration with the late Duke of Treviso, he was preparing a definitive work on Géricault. In addition, he had also a collection of old Masters drawings. "Pierre Olivier Dubaut is a virtuoso of watercolor, the ideal vehicle for his supple invention and warm spontaneity. With a nimble brush, he seizes without fixing it the life which passes, the fleeting movement, the ephemeral. He suggests the form of an unrepentant, elegant and light stroke: scenes of trenches during the 1914-1918 war, horse races, paddock, polo, bathers seen on the beach of Deauville. Elliptical and limpid washes build the essential. His watercolors appear in several museums, notably in Trouville, Compiègne, Belfort, The Hague..."

  • Denis Auguste Raffet (1804-1860) Studies of characters, drawing and watercolor
    By Denis Auguste Marie Raffet
    Located in Paris, FR
    Denis Auguste Raffet (1804-1860) Studies of characters Black pencil and watercolor on paper 18.5 x 25.5 cm Stamp of the Raffet Estate Sale (1911) on the lower right In good condition, foxings on the original mount Framed 34 x 40 cm Denis Auguste Marie Raffet (2 March 1804 – 16 February 1860) was a French illustrator and lithographer. He was a student of Nicolas Toussaint Charlet, and was a retrospective painter of the Empire. At an early age he was apprenticed to a wood turner, but took up the study of art at evening classes. At the age of 18 he entered the workshop of Cabanel, where he applied his skill to the decoration of china, and where he met Rudor, from whom he received instruction in lithography, in the practice of which he was to rise to fame. He then entered the École des Beaux-Arts, but returned to lithography in 1830 when he produced on stone his famous designs of Lützen, Waterloo, Le bal, La revue, and Les adieux de la garrison, by which his reputation became immediately established.[ Raffet's chief works were his lithographs of the Napoleonic campaigns, from Egypt to Waterloo, vigorous designs inspired by ardent patriotic enthusiasm. In this endeavor he was a contemporary of other French artist-lithographers of Napoleon and the French army including Hippolyte Bellangé, Horace Vernet, and Nicolas Toussaint Charlet. As an illustrator his activity was prodigious, the list of works illustrated by his crayon amounting to about forty-five, among which are Béranger's poems, the History of the Revolution by Adolphe Thiers, the History of Napoleon by de Norvins, the great Walter Scott by Auguste Defauconpret, the French Plutarch and Frédéric Bérat's Songs. He went to Rome in 1849, and was present at the siege of Rome, which he made the subject of some lithographs, and followed the Italian campaign of 1859, of which he left a record in his Episodes de la campagne d'Italie de 1859. His portraits in pencil...
