Post lot text JEAN-ANTOINE WATTEAU, A COUPLE WALKING IN AN EXTENSIVE LANDSCAPE (RECTO); AN ARCHITECTURAL STUDY WITH A RAMPART (VERSO), RED CHALK (TWO TONES), STUMPRediscovered in the last 20 years after the publication of the catalogue raisonné of drawings of the artist by Louis Antoine Prat and Pierre Rosenberg, where it is referenced as ‘known after the engraving’, this sanguine by Antoine Watteau is related to the painting, La promenade sur les remparts, conserved in a private collection and recently exhibited (Rêveries italiennes. Watteau et les paysagistes français au XVIIIe siècle, exh. cat., Valenciennes, 2016, no. 21). Through this exhibition, Martin Eidelberg reiterates his hypothesis that this may be a view of the Camp Vaccino and the Farnese Gardens on Mount Palatine, a familiar setting to daily Roman life at the time when the livestock market was set up there. This couple is depicted in a barely sketched background, drawn in red chalk and only visible in the background of the painting, to the left of the seated figures. According to scholars, the couple is also found in another later painting by Watteau, dated between 1713 and 1715, on the far left of the Paysage lacustre, kept in the Hermitage museum (inv. ГЭ-7766; Watteau 1684-1721, exh. cat., National Gallery of Art, Washington, Galeries nationales du Grand Palais, Charlottenburg Palace, Berlin, 1984-1985, no. 33). In addition, the two figures are part of a larger print by Jean-Charles François in which the couple is placed next to a woman with a fan sitting next to her dog (Rosenberg, Prat, op. cit.). Both drawings were in the collection of Dezallier d'Argenville (see provenance).The verso of the sanguine features an architectural study with a succession of blind arcades similar to the building in the painting, with one of the pavilions on the Farnese garden on the left. Various differences between the painting and the drawing must be noted. For example, the drawing features two blind arcades on the tower verus the painting's four, as well as the façade of the temple on the far right of the composition, wherein the drawing we see an architectural element that is absent from the painting.There is another architectural study by Watteau in the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam – drawn by nature according to Meg Grasselli – similar to the background of the painting, where the very quickly sketched building lines, sometimes with a lack of perspective, are similar to the graphic treatment of the present sketch (inv. F.I. 152 verso; exh. cat., 2016, no. 26).Of a prestigious provenance, the drawing belonged to the Dezallier d’Argenville collection, as indicated by the initials at the bottom left of the sheet numbered '3296'. He owned no less than 35 drawings by Antoine Watteau according to the catalogue of his death sale. Labbé and Bicart Sée referenced twenty-two of these in their monograph on the collector published in 1996 (La collection de dessins d'Antoine-Joseph Dezallier d'Argenville, Paris, 1996, p. 356). The drawing later passed into the hands of Count Jan-Pieter van Suchtelen, who probably acquired it after 1810 during his stay in Sweden as Russian ambassador.
