Ernest LAURENT
Gentilly 1859 - Bièvres 1929
Study of young woman in profile
Red chalk
Circa 1900
80 x 63 cm framed

Beautiful antique frame in natural wood, probably mahogany
This magnificent sanguine is entirely characteristic of Ernest Laurent's graphic style and technique, inherited from the neo-impressionist tradition. The use of both free and irregular hatching achieves a rendering that is both synthetic and allusive. The artist finely depicts the model's complexion through subtle contrast work in red chalk, playing with shadows and light.
His graphic style also evokes the art of Henri Martin, an artist of whom he was a close friend.
Ernest Joseph Laurent, born in Gentilly on June 8, 1859 and died in Bièvres on June 25, 1929, was a French painter and lithographer. A student of Henri Lehmann at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, Ernest Laurent was strongly influenced by the Impressionists, and became friends with Georges Seurat, Edmond Aman-Jean and Henri Le Sidaner. This encounter with the founder of the Neo-Impressionists had a lasting influence on his painting and drawing style, adopting certain characteristics. In 1885, his Annunciation, exhibited at the Salon, was bought by the State, enabling him to make a trip to Italy. From Rome, he went to Assisi, where he had a profound mystical experience that was to have a lasting influence on his art. In 1919, he was elected a member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts, and taught at the École des Beaux-Arts until 1929. Heir to both Impressionist and Neo-Impressionist techniques, his work is tinged with a symbolism linked to his deep religious devotion. This aspect of his life ran counter to the materialism of Seurat, from whom he gradually detached himself. Although he mainly painted female portraits, which were among his favorite themes, Laurent was also the author of remarkable lithographs, which took on a faded appearance and were published in L'Estampe moderne in 1897 and the Gazette des beaux-arts in 1901, among others.
