About the Item
France circa 1770
Two lovers surprised in bed
Black chalk on paper
13 x 17 cm
Modern frame : 34 x 38 cm
This drawing had been attributed to Gabriel de Saint Aubin (1724-1780). It's a convincing attribution because of the quality of the drawing and its theme, but as there's no real historic proof of this attribution, it seems more cautious to place it in his time.
The theme, two young overs surprised by a lord, the father ?, the husband ? of the young woman, is typical of the end of 18 the century french culture. The people of this time were fond of libertine tales.
Painters such as François Boucher or Honoré Fragonard produced many of these works.
