(Please refer to section VAT refunds) Post lot text BARTOLOMÉ MURILLO, THE YOUNG CHRIST AS THE GOOD SHEPHERD, BLACK AND RED CHALKThis unusually large drawing for Murillo in red and black chalk is related to the artist’s painting in the collection of Charles Lane, England (fig.; see Finaldi, op. cit., no. 8, ill.). Murillo executed the painting, together with its pendant The young Baptist with a lamb, now in the National Gallery in London (inv. NG176; see Finaldi, op. cit., no. 9, ill.), for one of his closest patrons, Don Justino de Neve. In 1665 De Neve lent both paintings to embellish an outdoor temporary altar erected for the inauguration of the church of Santa Maria La Blanca in Seville. The drawing was once in the library of Seville Cathedral, where Alleyne Fitzherbert, Baron St. Helens (1753-1839), acquired it presumably around 1790-1794, when he was ambassador in Spain (J. Brown, ‘More drawings by Murillo from the collection of Baron St. Helens’, Master Drawings, XXXVI, no. 1, Spring 1998, pp. 25-29). While he was ambassador in Spain, he seems to have acquired almost sixty drawings by Murillo, including the present one, which were offered at Christie’s after his death. In the sale’s catalogue, the drawing is described as ‘the study for Sir Simon Clarke’s picture’. The drawing was purchased by the prominent dealer William Buchanan, who was familiar with the Clarke painting, having written about it with great admiration in his Memoirs of painting, with chronological history of the importation of pictures by the old masters into England since the French Revolution (London, 1824, II, pp. 50-51).The handwritten number ‘38’ at top right establishes that the drawing was part of a series of other works by Murillo with similar numbers (Brown, op. cit., 2012, p. 68). The highly finished use of in black and red chalk connects this drawing to other sheets in the same style that have been recognized as works by Murillo since the 1970s (see McKim Smith, op. cit., p. 559). In comparing the present drawing with a copy after it in the Hamburger Kunsthalle (inv. 38580; see Brown, op. cit., 2012, no. R-1), Jonathan Brown described what distinguishes Murillo’s manner from that of the copyist: ‘in passage after passage, the active, alert hand of the master provides the small touches which bring the drawing to life, while the faithful but feckless copyist plods along his dreary, mimetic way’ (Brown, op. cit., 1983, pp. 160-161).Fig. Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, The young Christ as the Good Shepherd. Charles Lane Collection, England.
