Post lot text

ATTRIBUTED TO ABEL DE PUJOL, TWO NUDE WOMEN (RECTO); A SEATED NUDE MAN (VERSO), BLACK AND WHITE CHALK, ON LIGHT BROWN PAPER

Abel de Pujol trained with the painter Jacques-François Momal (1754-1832), professor at the academy of Valenciennes. He won a medal in his class for study after the live model in 1802, and went to Paris the following year in the hope of joining David’s studio. Though the latter refused at first, Abel convinced the master to take him under his wing. The young painter learned David’s aesthetic and studied the work of former members of the workshop (Girodet, Gros, Gérard and Ingres). The Prix de Rome of 1811 consecrated him and gave him access to prestigious projects, such as the ceilings of the grand staircase of the Louvre and the Palais Brongniart in Paris.
This sheet bears witness to the lessons of David, who advocated the study of the naked human body before dressing it. The figures are represented in groups (recto) or isolated (verso) in a specific position determined by the artist (V. Frelin-Cartigny, Abel de Pujol, La Ligne souple, exhib. cat., Valenciennes, Musée des Beaux-Arts, 2011, pp. 13-14). The study of a seated nude man on the verso is probably preparatory to the figure of the baker in the painting entitled Joseph explaining dreams from 1822 (Palais des Beaux-Arts de Lille, inv. P 540).
