Post lot text

ITALIAN SCHOOL, 18TH CENTURY, AFTER PIERRE LEGROS II, MARSYAS, BLACK AND WHITE CHALK, STUMPING ON BROWN PAPER

The present sheet records a sculpture of Marsyas tied to a tree by Pierre Legros II, active in early 18th Century Rome. Various replicas in bronze, marble and terracotta of Legros’ Marsyas were available in England, France and Italy. None of the copies is signed and the attribution to Legros is based on the description of the bronze in the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden (inv. H4 154/017) ), together with the Apollo that forms a pendant to it, as ‘von Legros’ in an inventory from 1715. In his article on Legros’ Marsyas, Malcom Baker suggests the original conception dates to 1715, during a visit by Legros to France from Italy ( ‘The “most rare Master Monsii Le Gros” and his “Marsyas”’, The Burlington Magazine, CXXVII, no. 991, October 1985, pp. 702-706).
