4 Nude Drawings After a Live Model by V. Geoffroy, Circa 1895
About the Item
Four male nude drawings from life by V. Geoffray in the late 19th century. These academic drawings of the nude, called académies, were the basic building block of academic education, as it was practiced in France in the 19th century. They were executed in the studio, where a live model posed. This type of exercise allowed future artists to study anatomy. Along with drawing from plaster casts of classical sculptures, drawing from life, after a live model, was a traditional exercise of academic pedagogy.
1 - Academy of a standing man, three-quarters view, signed and dated upper right: V. GEOFFROY 1896. Numbered 28/3.
2 - Academy of a man holding a stick behind his back, signed and dated upper right: V. Geoffroy (partially erased) 2 /2 96.
3 - Academy of man leaning against a stick, neither signed nor dated.
4 - Academy of man holding a stick, signed and dated upper right: V. GEOFFROY 1895 November 9.
These drawings were executed by V. Geoffroy between 1895 and 1899. Three of them are signed and dated. One drawing is numbered.
The 4 drawings are part of a set of 15 drawings executed between 1895 and 1899. They include académies drawn from live model and from plaster casts of Antiquity and Italian Renaissance sculptures. Most of these drawings are male nudes. All of them (except the Academy of man leaning against a stick) are scrupulously signed and dated.

Bronze Sculpture, "Child pinched by a crayfish", after Jean-Baptiste Pigalle
By Jean-Baptiste Pigalle
Located in Paris, FR
Bronze sculpture with a brown patina shaded in green signed Pigalle on the base, representing a child surprised by a crayfish's pinching. Tears are running down the cheeks of the naked child, sitting on a large shell, as he has just been pinched by a crayfish. The sculpture rests on a green marble base.
Jean-Baptiste Pigalle is a great French sculptor born in Paris in 1714. At a very young age, he studied sculpture and became aware that his art was the meaning of his life. He moved to Italy in 1734 to perfect his technique. Then, he joined the Beaux-Arts, thanks to his work "Mercury attaching his heel" (1740) which had an immediate success. Several artists have a copy, painters represent it on their canvases, and a biscuit reduction is made by the manufacture of Sevres in 1770. Very quickly the orders multiplied and Mme de Pompadour took him under her wing. Juggling between baroque and classical styles, he made portraits of Diderot and Voltaire and then realized the famous funeral monuments...
