About the Item
French Romantic school, circa 1840
Portrait of a young man,
charcoal on paper
22.5 x 17 cm
In good condition, however, there is a restoration of the paper in the upper right-hand quarter, which is barely visible.
Framed : 39 x 34 cm
This fine portrait of a very young man is typical of the Romantic period and the psychological and stylistic approach exemplified by Louis Boilly (1767-1845).
This work is very close to that artist's, but what is even more interesting is the quality of the Romantic portrait, with its emphasis on feeling.
This young man seems self-confident, his gaze fixed on the ambitions to which he aspires. This is the great strength of this small portrait, its ability to evoke the psychology and (future) history of its sitter. We can imagine them being fascinating at this point in any case.
It is here that the artist's mastery of style and technique fully serves this psychological approach, typical of Romanticism.

Jules Boilly (1796-1874) Portrait of a young man, drawing signed and dated
Located in Paris, FR
Jules Boilly (1796-1874)
Portrait of a young man, in uniform,
signed and dated 1837 on the lower left
charcoal and heightenings of blue, red and white chalk on paper
27.5 x 21.5 cm
Framed : 41.8 x 36 cm
This drawing is a good illustration of Jules Boilly's own style, obviously very different from his father's realistic acuity. There is something softer, more velvety, lighter, and we can see it clearly in the way he renders the features of this young man.
Julien-Léopold Boilly (30 August 1796 – 14 June 1874), also known as Jules Boilly, was a French artist noted for his album of lithographs Iconographie de l'Institut Royal de France (1820–1821) and his booklet Album de 73 portraits-charge aquarellés des membres de l'Institut (1820) containing watercolor caricatures...

A young poet or artist, French Romantic period portrait of a sensitive figure
Located in Norwich, GB
You will find this young man good company! It is a pleasure to study his thoughtful, sensitive face. He has a benevolent and real presence. To my mind, he certainly has an artistic nature - he looks like a thinker, poet and/or musician.
Dating from what the French call the Romantic Period, the early 1800s, our painting is monogrammed AG and may be attributed to Auguste Glaize.
Born in Montpellier, Auguste Glaize studied under the painters Achille Devéria and Eugène Devéria.
He came to be one of the great French Romantic painters of the early 19th century, marking his career with important history paintings and cycles of monumental religious...
