Provenance Louis-Antoine et Véronique Prat, Paris (Lugt 3618).Vente anyonyme ; Hotel Drouot, Paris, 11 mars 1988, lot 140. Post lot text LUC-OLIVIER MERSON, A WOMAN SINGING, BLACK, RED AND WHITE CHALK, STUMPING, ON LIGHT BROWN PAPER, TITLED AND SIGNEDThis large study is a preparation for La Musique au Moyen-Age, an ambitious composition produced in 1898 which adorns the wall of the Marivaux staircase of the Opéra Comique in Paris. Built by Louis Bernier (1845-1919), the composition serves as a counterpart to the composition of the opposite wall, La Poésie dans l'Antiquité. There are many other figure studies related to this painting, notably The Music Master sitting in an armchair and playing the violin conserved at the Musée Picardie in Amiens, which was completed in the same technique as the present drawing (inv. MP922-A ; L'Étrange Monsieur Merson, exh. cat., Rennes, Musée des beaux-arts, 2009). A preparatory cartoon of the set, dated 1897, was auctioned at Christie's in Paris on 22 March 2007, lot 139.
