French school, late 18th century

Trompe l’oeil of a “drawing” on a wooden background

Pencil, watercolour, on handmade laid paper, 124 x 100 mm

Provenance: private collection, The Netherlands

*

An amusing trompe l’oeil “drawing” of a “tronie” or character head study of an old man wearing a hat, illusionistically “mounted” with red lacquer on a background of wooden planks. The sheet seems to date from around 1780-1800 and could have been made either in France, Germany or Holland, presumably in France.

Very charming drawing in good condition, a few minor folds and small damages normal for the age.
