By Paul Gavarni (Guillaume Sulpice Chevalier)
Located in Paris, FR
Paul Gavarni (1804-1866)
Portrait of Henri Monnier, standing in profile a study of hand and arm on the right border, circa 1840-50
Pencil on light paper,
24.5 x 15,7 cm
Ex-collection Pierre Gavarni, the artist's son mark (Lugt 1124c, lower right recto).
Two corners missing (lower left and upper right) see photographs please
In a modern cardboard mount : 45 x 35.5 cm
Different portraits of Henri Monnier by Gavarni are known, mainly lithographs. This one appears as a very natural study, draught from the model in his interior.
It's interesting to judge of the difference between this intimate drawing and the litograph portrait (see illustration) if the model is the same and easy to identify, the attitude and the spirit are totally different.
Henri Monnier (1799-1877) was a cartoonist , illustrator , playwright and actor. He was a friend of Alexandre Dumas , Théophile Gautier , Stendhal , Eugène Sue , Prosper Mérimée , Eugène Scribe , Eugène Delacroix , Louis Boulanger...
