Adolphe Léon Willette
Nude of Woman - Pencil by Adolphe Léon Willette - Early 20th Century

Early 20th Century

About the Item

Nude of Woman is a splendid drawing in pencil realized by Adolphe Léon Willette, a French illustrator, painter, caricaturist, lithographer, and architect. The state of preservation is very good. On the lower right, in pen, there is the inscription, probably not coeval, “A. Willette”. The artist Adolphe Léon Willette, with his irreverent art, though elegant and floriated in the style, illustrated the spirit of the Bohemia of the crazy Montmartre in the turn of the 20th century. He realized, for instance, the interior decoration and the sign of the legendary Cabaret du Chat Noir, as well as the aspect of the famous Moulin Rouge. In this case, the drawing represents a holy image with an obsolete and interesting iconography. The artwork is beautiful in the strokes and in the perspective, emphasized by the diagonal of the horizontal part of the cross. This piece is also emotionally engaging for both its intensity and meaning.
