"Drawing "battle Scene" By Charles Parrocel Eighteenth"
Charles PARROCEL (1688-1752) "Battle Scene" Red chalk and wash of bistre on cream paper, annotation on the bottom right on the pen "Courtois dit Bourguignon" laid down on original 18th mount. Beautiful large sheet by the artist, certainly a drawing of first thought because of the many present repentances (positions of the leg of the falling rider, and the whole personage running away at his feet, etc ...) the red chalk allied with the wash is also a signature of the painter, linked to the great spontaneity of a first thought work, see other similar drawings in public collections (Louvre, School of Fine Arts, etc.)
