1937
Black chalk on paper

Signed on the mounting sheet: Deteix
A tear at the bottom
The large oil painting for The Entombment hangs in Saint Pothin church in Amplepuis, Deteix's hometown. The cartoon for this painting (ex-Galerie Mulherron), an imposing watercolor, is currently in the Tomaselli Collection in Vaise. This fast, fluid, and powerful drawing is an initial idea for this important commission.
