Claude Monet
(1840 Paris - 1926 Giverny)
Küstendorf ("Village côtier")
Reizvolle, in lockerem Strich skizzierte Ansicht eines beschaulichen Küstendorfes. Verso Studien einer älteren Dame. Laut Familienüberlieferung des aktuellen Besitzers, handelt es sich um die Darstellung von Eugénie Graff (1819-1891), genannt "Madame Paul", der Besitzerin eines Gasthauses, das Monet während seines Sommeraufenthalts in dem kleinen Fischerdorf Pourville im Jahr 1882 regelmäßig besuchte. Im Zuge dieser Besuche fertigte der Künstler Porträts des Gastgeber-Ehepaares Paul-Antoine und Eugènie Graff an. Stellt man das Bildnis von Eugènie Graff, das sich heute im Harvard Art Museum in Cambridge befindet (Obj.Nr. 1955,98) dem vorliegenden Studienblatt gegenüber, bestehen durchaus Ähnlichkeiten in der Physiognomie der dargestellten Dame. Legt man nun die Annahme zugrunde, dass es sich tatsächlich um ein Studienblatt mit der Darstellung von "Madame Paul" handelt, wäre das Blatt nicht nur um das Jahr 1882 zu datieren, sondern auch die vorderseitige Dorfansicht geografisch in der Gegend um Pourville oder Dieppe zu verorten. Die Verkaufserfolge der Impressionisten-Ausstellung von 1882 ermöglichten es Monet, für mehrere Monate ein Ferienhaus in Pourville zu mieten, um dort zu malen. Die dortige raue und atemberaubend schöne Normannische Küste inspirierte Monet zu zahlreichen, bedeutenden Gemälden, darunter "Rand der Steilküste bei Pourville" (Staatsgalerie Stuttgart, Inv.-Nr. L1531) und "Cliff Walk at Pourville" (Art Institute of Chicago, Inv.-Nr. 1933.443). Kohle/bräunliches Papier. L. ob. Signatur-Stempel "Claude Monet" (Lugt 1819b). 19,5 cm x 12,6 cm. Rahmen.
Provenienz: Deutsche Privatsammlung, laut Überlieferung in den 1960er Jahren erworben aus der Sammlung von Michel Monet (1878-1966), Giverny; Seitdem im Familienbesitz durch Erbfolge.
