"Anonymous French Artist, Circa 1750, Galante Scene In A Wooded Park"
FRENCH ANONYMOUS ARTIST, CIRCA 1750GALLANT SCENE IN A WOODED PARK
France, mid-18th century
Black chalk on cream laid paper
26 × 33.5 cm (unframed)
Provenance: private collection, Paris
Charming black chalk drawing depicting a gallant scene in a wooded setting, typical of the Rococo taste for pastoral pleasures and refined social encounters. The fluid and elegant line recalls the world of Watteau and his followers (Lancret, Pater, Saint-Aubin).
A refined composition with a light, atmospheric touch, without highlights—likely an autonomous work or a study intended for print. A lovely Louis XV–period sheet, rare in this format.
