Further details

CHARLES PARROCEL, BATTLE SCENE, GRAPHITE, PEN AND BLACK INK, GREY WASH, HEIGHTENED WITH WHITE

Charles Parrocel was Louis XV's (1710-1774) official battle painter from 1740 onwards, and a prolific draughtsman whose lively style combined different techniques. He produced a large number of cavalry clashes as in the present drawing. Sometimes less ambitious, drawn without white highlights, they are notably preserved in the Louvre (inv. 32235; inv. 32205) and the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm (inv. NM2892/1863; P. Bürstrom, Drawings in Swedish Public Collection, IV, French Drawings: Eighteenth Century, Stockholm, 1982, no. 1109). This cavalry clash is notable for its prestigious provenance, having belonged - among others - to the Provençal collector Jean-Baptiste de Meryan, Marquis de Lagoy (1764-1829), who owned more than 3,000 drawings, it was sold in his posthumous sale in 1834 (see provenance). We would like to thank Béatrice de Moustier for her help in writing this lot essay.
