Kräftig konturierte, flüchtig komponierte Aktstudie Helleus, der bereits neben seiner Lehre als Keramiker ersten Zeichenunterreicht nahm. Ab 1876 besuchte er die École des Beaux-Arts in Paris bei Jean-Léon Gérôme. Rasch geriet er in den Einfluss Pariser Künstlerkreise und schloss zahlreiche neue Bekanntschaften, darunter Henri Matisse, Edgar Degas, Auguste Rodin, Oscar Wilde, Coco Chanel, Charlie Chaplin und Marcel Proust. In den 1890er Jahren etablierte sich Helleu als erfolgreicher Porträtist der feinen Pariser Gesellschaft, wobei sein besonderes Augenmerk auf die Darstellung der schönsten Frauen der Belle Époque lag. Seine Ehefrau, Alice Guérin, saß ihm bevorzugt Modell und galt als seine Muse. Darüber hinaus entwarf Helleu, unter Beratung des Astronomieprofessors Harold Jacoby, den berühmten Sternenhimmel als Deckenbemalung der Grand Central Station in New York. Bleistift/Papier. L. u. sign. u. dat. (19)09. Ger. Läsuren. 21 cm x 29,8 cm. Rahmen.
Pencil on paper. Signed and dated (19)09. Minor damages.
