1895rif. 5491France: S.P. C1895. A lovely water colour partly finished very much in the style of Charles Léandre. Unsigned this work appears to be an incomplete composition for a magazine such as "Le Rire" or "L'Assiette au Beurre." A worman on a director's chair is speaking to a relaxed gentleman in late nineteenth century dress wearing a straw boater and with an outsized moustache. The painted area is highly skilled and appears to be finished. What is curious is that the pencil sketch shows another woman stood to the other side of the man and tapping him on the shoulder. Only her hand has been inked in. It is tempting to think that the shadow of the woman is left intentionally ghost like as the man's conscience reminding him of his wife. What argues against this is that the "ghost" is in pencil which wouldn't have reproduced in any intended publication. Also the man's left foot is also only in pencil. So on balance this is an unfinished caricature. Still a fabulous fin de siecle drawing. On art paper with a little nicking to the edges and slight darkening. A single fold to the centre where the sheet has been folded. 30cm x 22cm. . Une jolie aquarelle partiellement achevée très dans le style de Charles Léandre. Non signée cette œuvre semble être une composition inachevée destinée à un magazine tel que « Le Rire » ou « L'Assiette au Beurre ». Une femme assise sur une chaise de réalisateur s'adresse à un homme détendu vêtu d'un costume de la fin du XIXe siècle coiffé d'un canotier et arborant une moustache imposante. La partie peinte est très travaillée et semble achevée. Ce qui est curieux c'est que l'esquisse au crayon montre une autre femme debout de l'autre côté de l'homme qui lui tape sur l'épaule. Seule sa main a été encrée. Il est tentant de penser que l'ombre de la femme a été laissée intentionnellement fantomatique comme la conscience de l'homme lui rappelant sa femme. Ce qui contredit cette hypothèse c'est que le « fantôme » est au crayon ce qui n'aurait pas été reproduit dans une publication prévue. De plus le pied gauche de l'homme n'est également dessiné qu'au crayon. Tout bien considéré il s'agit donc d'une caricature inachevée. Il n'en reste pas moins un fabuleux dessin fin de siècle. Sur papier d'art avec quelques petites entailles sur les bords et un léger noircissement. Un seul pli au centre là où la feuille a été pliée. 30 cm x 22 cm. S.P. unknown
