By François-Édouard Picot
Located in Meinisberg, CH
François-Édouard Picot
(French, 1786 – 1868)
Ancient Greek Comedy Play
• Pencil Drawing on laid paper behind decorative matting, visible image, ca. 10.5 x 15.5 cm
• Modern Glased frame, ca. 27 x 33 cm
• Signed "Picot fecit" lower left
• As we photographed through glass, there are reflections in the images
Worldwide shipping is complimentary - There are no charges for handling & delivery
Here we have the somewhat unusual, yet typical subject matter François-Édouard Picot was interested in depicting. Shown is a scene from an ancient Greek comedy play. The previous owner has noted on the back, that this image was copied from an ancient Greek stone relief.
François-Édouard Picot was born on the 10th of October in 1786 in Paris, France. He studied with various masters and became well known for his historical and mythological subjects. In 1812 he won the second prize in the Prix de Rome competition and after that success, went on to exhibit at the Paris Salon, where in the year 1819 he won a first-class medal for his neoclassical L'Amour et Psyché, which today hangs in the Louvre in Paris. He regularly exhibited his work in the salon up to 1839. He taught several young great artists at his elitist studio and was known for accepting only very few students, which included William Bouguereau, Gustave Moreau, Cabanel and Paul Seignac...

Located in London, GB
Charcoal and sanguine on paper, signed and dated '1793' lower right
Image size: 21 x 14 1/2 inches (53.25 x 37 cm)
Framed
Provenance
Collection of Mr and Mrs John Whitehead (England), collection of the Duchess of Rutland (Wales), collection of Mr Michael W. Murphy (El Dorado).
Exhibitions
No.97, 'National Portraits', The South Kensington Museum (V&A), 1868 (label on reverse).
Sarah Siddons was a welsh actress and the best-known tragedienne of the 18th century. Siddons's first major success came in 1782 with her portrayal of Isabella in the Fatal Marriage, written by David Garrick the leading actor-manager of the period. Siddons continued to dominate the London stage until her farewell in 1812.
Part of a powerful theatrical dynasty, her brothers were the actors Philip and Charles Kemble, her husband was the actor William Siddons and her son, Henry Siddons was also an actor. She was hailed as the chief interpreter of Shakespeare. Her masterpiece was Lady Macbeth as she excelled in roles that allowed her to combine passionate intelligence with pathos. The critic William Hazlitt proclaimed her 'tragedy personified'.
