Honoré Daumier
Untitled (Study of a Lawyer)

1800s

About the Item

Unsigned Provenance: FAR Gallery, New York, NY Private Collection, New Jersey Reference and Notes: Daumier was a prolific draftsman. This drawing of a lawyer was once part of a large sheet of studies, executed in the courtroom. It has strong stylistic similarities to a study sheet reproduced in Maison, Honoré Daumier, Catalog Raisonne, Vol. 2, page 302, no. 769 which has the similar pose and hair treatment but lacks the eye glasses of our example. The “flying hair” composition repeats in many finished courtroom examples (See Maison, no. 661, 662, 663 & 664). A brief description of Daumier’s legal imagery is found in Ives, Stuffman and Sonnabend, Daumier Drawings, page 24 where the small studies are put in context to his working method. Sheet: 3 7/8 x 3 9/16"; Image: 2 7/8 x 3 1/16"
