About the Item
French (?) school circa 1770
Portrait of a Lady in a Tondo,
red chalk on paper
20 x 29 cm
Numbered 25 on the upper left
Little holes in the bottom (intended for binding)
Not framed
It has been suggested that this beautiful drawing could be compared to the works by the hand of Angelica Kauffmann (1741-1807). The motive of a portrait into a tondo is quite characteristic but also the style is quite close to the one of this artist. But at this stage there is no clear evidence to assert this attribtion. It remains really interesting to compare our drawing to works by Kauffmann to judge of his own quallity.
An other interesting fact is that the sheet was without doubt part of a sketchbook. The number 25 related to page number and the numerous very little holes in the bottom were the one made for binding. At that time sketchbooks were made of sheets that were sewn together.

- 18th Century Sanguine Drawing, La Naissance de Louis XIII, After Rubens.Located in Cotignac, FR18th Century French Sanguine drawing, possibly a preparatory sketch for the painting by Nattier after the painting by Rubens. Presented in shaped 'marie-louise' mount in plain gold wood frame with collection label. The subject is the Queen Marie de' Medici seated on a grand throne, the baby is in the arms of Health while Justice looks over him. Fecundity brings a cornucopia of fruit with the heads of the other children the Queen will bear. The Sun rides his chariot across the sky to indicate that Louis XIII was born in the morning and the calm figure of France surveys the whole scene. An engraving exists (see the Wellcome Collection) of this same image: 'The birth of King Louis XIII', after the engraving by B. Audran the younger after the painting by Jean-Marc Nattier after the oil painting of Peter Paul Rubens in the Louvre 'La Naissance du Dauphin (future Louis XIII) à Fontainebleau, le 27 septembre 1601'. Jean-Marc Nattier (17 March 1685 – 7 November 1766) was a French painter. He was born in Paris, the second son of Marc Nattier (1642–1705), a portrait painter, and of Marie Courtois (1655–1703), a miniaturist. He is noted for his portraits of the ladies of King Louis XV's court in classical mythological attire. He received his first instruction from his father, and from his uncle, the history painter Jean Jouvenet (1644–1717). He enrolled in the Royal Academy in 1703 and applied himself to copying pictures in the Luxembourg Palace, making a series of drawings of the Marie de Médici painting...Category
