ANTOINE-PIERRE MONGIN (PARIS 1761-1827 VERSAILLES)Les fossés de la Bastillegraphite, aquarelle et gouache27,7 X 38,2 cm (10 7⁄8 x 15 in.) Post lot text ANTOINE-PIERRE MONGIN, THE 'FOSSES' OF THE BASTILLE, GRAPHITE, WATERCOLOUR AND GOUACHE ON PAPERAt the 18th Century, the Fossés Saint Antoine in Paris, depicted here, were a defensive mechanism for the Bastille prison and were used as a preventive barrier before becoming, after the revolution, places of promenade for the people, as can be seen in the present drawing: a washerwoman hangs out her washing while elegant couples stroll along. A gouache with the same subject representing the southern end of the Arsenal gardens, the watchtower of the corner bastion and the wooden bridge spanning the Saint-Antoine ditch (now the Morland bridge), is preserved in the Musée Carnavalet (inv. D. 6072; Paris & the Revolution, exh. cat., Paris, Musée Carnavalet, March-May 1931, no. 225).
