(Please refer to section VAT refunds) Post lot text VICTOR-MARIE HUGO, CHURCH ON A ROCK, GRAPHITE, STUMP, DEDICATED AND SIGNEDIn the present drawing, the use of graphite, blurred in the background and reworked by gumming effects, appears more seldom than the brown ink technique common to Victor Hugo's landscapes. Nevertheless, two comparable drawings are preserved in the Maison Victor Hugo: Château fort and Souvenir d'Anvers: ville au bord de l'eau, dated 1854. The same misty atmosphere, a dark and grey mass accentuated with graphite in the background, surrounds the structures (inv. 914, inv. 156; Du Chaos dans le pinceau... Victor Hugo. Dessins, exh. cat., Paris, Maison Victor Hugo, 2000, no. 63; G. Audinet, Victor Hugo. Dessins. Collection des Maisons de Victor Hugo. Paris/Guernesey, Paris, 2021, no. 126).We thank Pierre Georgel for confirming the attribution. The drawing will be included in the catalogue raisonné of the artist's drawings currently in preparation.
