Lot description

C. 1740-1750

Drawing, black chalk, traces of white chalk, 31 x 18 cm, laid paper, unsigned, later ms. attribution in lower right corner.

Stuck by upper corners under passe-partout.

The shading and typically vertical, shallow compositions and rendering of facial types of this drawing are typical of Subleyras' style. This sheet show some similarities to attributed drawings such as "St Benedict Resuscitating an infant", in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of New York (inv. 1974.354), or "St Ambroise forgives Theodoric" in the Louvre (inv. 32926), especially in its treatment of shading.
