French school end of 19th Century, Portrait of a man, charcoal drawing

1894

About the Item

French school end of 19th Century, Portrait of a man, charcoal on paper Signed ? and dated 94 (?) on the upper right Dedicated "A mon ami Gaguin (?)" on the lower right Framed : 57.5 x 47.5 cm This portrait of a man is highly characteristic of the art of the late 19th century, with overtones that clearly link it to the Symbolist movement. The post-impressionist technique and the look in the eyes of a man lost in thought add to its charm and mystery. It is undoubtedly signed and dated, but the inscription in the top right is unfortunately too difficult to decipher to give any clues as to the artist's identity. This is another mystery, as is the identity of the model, perhaps the friend to whom the work is dedicated.

  • Dibujo a la manera de Velasquez (Drawing in the Manner of Velasquez)
    By Fernando Botero
    Located in Palm Desert, CA
    A drawing by Fernando Botero. "Dibujo a la Manera de Velasquez" is a portrait, charcoal and pastel on cardboard in an earth-tone palette by Latin American artist Fernando Botero. It is signed upper right, "Sobre Velazquez Botero -1-27-60 Para Rita. el recuerdo de uno payaso". Fernando Botero, best known for his voluptuously rotund human figures, was born in Medellín, Colombia on April 19, 1932. His father died when he was young, and he was raised by his mother, along with his two brothers. He attended a Jesuit school in Medellín and from the age of 12 to 14, he attended a matador training school. The bull fight became a recurring theme in Botero’s early work and while he was in his early teens, he sold his pictures of bull fights in front of the arena. By the time he was 16 years of age, Botero was working as an illustrator for the local magazine El Colombiano. He also began writing articles about art theory, one of which, entitled Picasso and Non-Conformity in Art, led to his expulsion from the Jesuit school for its endorsement of Cubism. One of Botero’s important early works, Woman Crying...
