About the Item

French School 19 th Century Portrait of a young man Signed (signature not deciphered) on the lower right Pencil, black chalk and heightenings of white and red chalks on paper Oval view 36 x 28 cm Framed under glass : 46 x 37 cm The delicacy of this portrait is typical of the golden age of portraiture in the 19th century. Precisely at a time when graphic art was competing with photography and had to outdo itself. It was above all in the search for a psychological evocation of the sitter's character that the draughtsmen distinguished themselves, as can be seen here. There's a real sense of life here, and it's particularly touching. For the moment, it has not been possible to decipher the signature, which indicates a particularly talented artist.

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...
