About the Item
A beautiful and sensual portrait of Venus, surrounded by cherubs and doves, reclining on an ocean wave. Venus, the goddess of love, was born full-grown from the foam of the sea. This particular composition is clearly inspired by the original 1740 masterpiece by François Boucher. The sensual pose and voluptuous form of Venus, with her softly curving arms raised above her, entwined in her hair, highlight her position as goddess of Love and Plenty.
The drawing is in a mixture of watercolour pencil, graphite and watercolour wash and has been executed with a restrained hand. The drawing is unsigned and presented in an early 20th Century frame with foliate acanthus leaf molding and a contemporary gilt finish. The frame has been completed with a card mount.
On canvas.

- Study for “L’Acropole”By Paul DelvauxLocated in New Orleans, LAPaul Delvaux 1897-1994 Belgian Study for “L’Acropole” Signed and dated "P.Delvaux 1965" (lower right) Watercolor, pen and ink on paper This preliminary drawing for Paul Delvaux’s greatest masterpiece L’Acropole, which resides today in the Centre Pompidou in Paris, features the artist’s most beloved subject — mystical scenes of nude women. A centrally-placed, stoic woman draped in a long green gown stands with her arms outstretched by her sides. She gazes at another idealized woman in the foreground, lying nude on a chaise lounge, while behind her, multitudes of other women in white dresses undertake a long procession towards a distant door. The captivating scene exudes the unique Surrealist style for which the artist has become known. With this skillful rendering of the surreal setting, Delvaux has mastered depicting nude women in a sensual yet non-erotic manner. The artist drew inspiration from a variety of sources, including the futuristic writings of Jules Verne and the mythos of Homer, and blended them with his subconscious themes, which frequently included the nude female form. In combination with the loose concepts of form and perspective found in the 16th-century Mannerist paintings that Delvaux studied in Italy before World War II, his distinctive style served to create memorable dreamscapes without veering into lewdness. Like the very best Surrealist images, the work is both innovative and engaging. Paul Delvaux's earliest and most lasting influences in his art were the futuristic writings of Jules Verne and the mythos of Homer. After completing his initial artistic training at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels, Delvaux exhibited with Surrealists Dalí...Category
