J. J. Grandville
L’amour Croise des Race - Ink and Watercolor Drawing by J.J. Grandville - 1833

1833

About the Item

L’amour Croise des Races (Agence matrimoniale) is an original drawing with watercolor, Ink, pencil, realized by Jean-Jacques Grandville in 1833, from provenance by descent from Louise Fischer, sister of Grandville’s wife, sketch for the print published in Le Charivari January 9th, 1834. Included a frame. In very good conditions. Here the artwork represents three fantastic creatures, as a man with a big head, a bird-man and a cat-woman in, all met each other in the cross of a street. Jean Ignace Isidore Gérard (1803-1847) known by the pseudonym of Jean-Jacques or J. J. Grandville, was a French caricaturist. Grandville's ability for political provocation made his work with great impact. He worked in a wide variety of formats, from his first job illustrating the parlor game Old Maid, to illustrated newspaper strips of which he was a master. Though the designs of Grandville are occasionally unnatural and absurd, they usually display keen analysis of character and marvellous inventive ingenuity, and his humour is always tempered and refined by delicacy of sentiment and a vein of sober thoughtfulness.
