Description
I am selling this beautiful original drawing on canson paper signed jean villette (1913-2005), artist and historian from chartres, specialist in chartres and its cathedral, to which he devoted numerous works. This black stone drawing represents the fortified village of saint-cirq-lapopie (lot, quercy), as evidenced by the artist's handwritten mention at the bottom of the sheet. The artist depicts with a lively and confident stroke the village perched above a meander of the lot, recognizable by its fortified buildings. We observe a beautiful mastery of shadow and light, with deep nuances in the dark areas, characteristic of black stone. On the reverse, a yellow sticker inscribed “36” testifies to the probable exhibition of this drawing during the artist's lifetime: this drawing was acquired as a lot during an auction in chartres in september 2023 during the dispersal of the jean villette collection; the twenty other drawings, charcoals or lithographs which made up the lot also have stickers on the back, or even annotations in the artist's hand. I kept some of them, i'm getting rid of the others because I don't have enough walls to hang them all! Very good condition: no tears or defects to report. A fragment of kraft framing tape remains in the upper part, not annoying or visible when the drawing is framed again. The remains of a label on the reverse at the top left as well as traces of inscriptions in pencil. The photographs are an integral part of the description: look at them carefully! Sheet format: h. 38.5 X l. 49 cm. Drawing format: h. 28 X l. 38 cm. Possibility of making a price if purchasing several drawings (see my other announcements) and of grouping the shipment. The drawing is sold without a frame. 📍 the object is located in gif-sur-yvette (91 - northwest essonne). 👐 possibility (and preference) of hand delivery in gif or paris. Contact me before purchasing, thank you.
