Portrait of a young man
Signed and dated "Boissier f(ecit) 1802" on the lower right
Pastel on paper transfered on cardboard
37.5 x 29 cm
In its original frame : 46 x 38 cm
(damaged, some losses in the gilding of the frame as apparent on the photograph)
If the author of this pastel and of an identified set of signed portraits by the same hand has for long identified as André-Claude Boissier (1760-1833), it was recently discussed.
In his very interesting notice on the pastellist, Neil Jeffares author of an online "Dictionary of pastellist before 1800", suggests it could be a woman and not all André-Claude. In the same article are reproduced, portraits of the same style and quality as the one presented here.
It's really intriguing. In fact a woman's touch could be quite perceptible in these portraits.

- L V Guirand de Scevola (1871-1950) Portrait of a young woman, 1928, oval pastelBy Lucien-Victor Guirand de ScévolaLocated in Paris, FRLucien-Victor Guirand de Scevola (1871-1950) Portrait of a young woman Pastel on paper 38 x 28 cm (oval) Framed under glass in a vintage framing : 45 x 35 cm A label on the back "1928 Portrait de femme Etude au pastel de Guirand de Scévola" (see photographs please) This pastel study is of course not signed, as the label on the back of the frame gives its attribution to Guirand de Scévola and, equally interestingly, the date 1928, but in fact the artist's style and execution are immediately recognisable without the need for a signature. This type of woman with a bun is typical of the models the artist loved. Her mysterious air recalls his Symbolist period, and pastel is hisr preferred medium because it lends itself to all the characteristics typical of his art. Lucien-Victor Guirand de Scévola ( 1871 – 1950) was a French painter. He was student of Fernand Cormon and Pierre Dupuis...Category
