Lot 1244 | Jean-Baptiste Auguste Leloir
(1809 Paris - 1892 ebenda) Ruth vor Boas Das Alte Testament erzählt im gleichnamigen Buch vom Schicksal Ruths und ihrer Familie, die während einer Hungersnot nach Israel zieht. Auf den Gerstenfeldern sammelt die junge Frau die Nachlese auf, um ihre Verwandten zu versorgen. Leloir zeigt die erste Begegnung von Ruth mit dem mildtätigen Großgrundbesitzer Boas, der ihren selbstlosen Einsatz anerkennt und sie ehelicht. Die orientalische, in ein Sfumato getauchte Landschaft mit Palmen, Bergketten und Lehmbauten dient als Kulisse für die genrehafte Historie im Vordergrund. Der Protagonist Boas ist mit Turban und Tunika ins Bildzentrum gerückt, während Ruth demütig vor ihm niederkniet. Vermutlich handelt es sich um eine eigenhändige, verkleinerte Wiederholung des Motivs, das ursprünglich wohl wandfüllend war und zu einem Bilderzyklus zählte, der auch als Druckgrafik vervielfältigt wurde. Öl/Holz; Rechts unten signiert; 32 cm x 44 cm. Rahmen. Oil on wood. Ruth in front of Boaz. Signed.
