About the Item
French Romantic school, circa 1840
Portrait of a young man,
charcoal on paper
22.5 x 17 cm
In good condition, however, there is a restoration of the paper in the upper right-hand quarter, which is barely visible.
Framed : 39 x 34 cm
This fine portrait of a very young man is typical of the Romantic period and the psychological and stylistic approach exemplified by Louis Boilly (1767-1845).
This work is very close to that artist's, but what is even more interesting is the quality of the Romantic portrait, with its emphasis on feeling.
This young man seems self-confident, his gaze fixed on the ambitions to which he aspires. This is the great strength of this small portrait, its ability to evoke the psychology and (future) history of its sitter. We can imagine them being fascinating at this point in any case.
It is here that the artist's mastery of style and technique fully serves this psychological approach, typical of Romanticism.

- Denis Auguste Raffet (1804-1860) Studies of characters, drawing and watercolorBy Denis Auguste Marie RaffetLocated in Paris, FRDenis Auguste Raffet (1804-1860) Studies of characters Black pencil and watercolor on paper 18.5 x 25.5 cm Stamp of the Raffet Estate Sale (1911) on the lower right In good condition, foxings on the original mount Framed 34 x 40 cm Denis Auguste Marie Raffet (2 March 1804 – 16 February 1860) was a French illustrator and lithographer. He was a student of Nicolas Toussaint Charlet, and was a retrospective painter of the Empire. At an early age he was apprenticed to a wood turner, but took up the study of art at evening classes. At the age of 18 he entered the workshop of Cabanel, where he applied his skill to the decoration of china, and where he met Rudor, from whom he received instruction in lithography, in the practice of which he was to rise to fame. He then entered the École des Beaux-Arts, but returned to lithography in 1830 when he produced on stone his famous designs of Lützen, Waterloo, Le bal, La revue, and Les adieux de la garrison, by which his reputation became immediately established.[ Raffet's chief works were his lithographs of the Napoleonic campaigns, from Egypt to Waterloo, vigorous designs inspired by ardent patriotic enthusiasm. In this endeavor he was a contemporary of other French artist-lithographers of Napoleon and the French army including Hippolyte Bellangé, Horace Vernet, and Nicolas Toussaint Charlet. As an illustrator his activity was prodigious, the list of works illustrated by his crayon amounting to about forty-five, among which are Béranger's poems, the History of the Revolution by Adolphe Thiers, the History of Napoleon by de Norvins, the great Walter Scott by Auguste Defauconpret, the French Plutarch and Frédéric Bérat's Songs. He went to Rome in 1849, and was present at the siege of Rome, which he made the subject of some lithographs, and followed the Italian campaign of 1859, of which he left a record in his Episodes de la campagne d'Italie de 1859. His portraits in pencil...Category
