ATTRIBUTED TO LOUIS JEAN FRANÇOIS LAGRENÉE (1725-1805), YOUNG GIRL WITH A DOVE, OIL ON CANVAS
This elegant painting, imbued with the lightness of touch and spirit associated with the eighteenth century, is a version of the Jeune fille badinant une colombe presented at the Salon of 1755 by Louis Jean François Lagrenée (1725-1805) (see J. Assémat-Tessandier, Louis Lagrenée, dit l'aîné. 1725-1805, Paris, 2002, no. 296 P). This was painted with its counterpart, Jeune fille tenant un papier de musique et battant la mesure (see J. Assémat-Tessandier, 2002, op. cit., no. 295 P), during his years as a boarder at the Académie de France in Rome (1750-1754). Inspired by the costumes of the Roman women he met in the Eternal City, the young Lagrenée did not hesitate to add pearls and feathers to his models, transforming them into fantasy characters.Lagrenée was not in the habit of depicting fantasy figures: Assémat-Tessandier, a specialist on the artist, states that the two paintings mentioned above are unique in the artist's corpus in this respect. Nor was the painter in the habit of painting different versions of the same composition. The only example mentioned by the specialist is Un jeune satyre, for which he lists two autograph versions (see J. Assémat-Tessandier, 2002, op. cit, n°368 P and n°*369 P).
