JEAN-LOUIS-ANDRÉ-THÉODORE GÉRICAULT, AN HORSE REARING UP, HELD BACK BY TWO MEN, GRAPHITE

This graphite study should be seen in the context of a theme dear to Géricault: the Bearded Horse Race, which occupied the artist throughout his Italian year in 1817. Several painted sketches and dozens of pen-and-ink or graphite sketches were produced to depict this Roman tradition, which takes place on the Roman Corso during Carnival: the horses run the distance between the Piazza del Popolo and the Piazza del Palazzo di Venezia.
There are many painted sketches: the most complete, and the closest to the present drawing, is in the Musée du Louvre (inv. RF 2042; G. Bazin, Théodore Géricault. Étude critique, documents et catalogue raisonné , IV, Le voyage en Italien, Paris, 1990, no. 1368; P. Grunchec, Tout l'œuvre peint de Gericault, Paris, 1991, no. 115); another oil sketch on paper in the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, which is much more energetic, also shows similarities (inv. 85.PA.406; Bazin, op. cit., no. 1358; Grunchec, op. cit., no. 114).
A number of drawings have been referenced that are very similar to the present sheet in terms of composition and technique used, including one of the most important, which depicts all the figures, kept at the Fogg Art Museums in Cambridge (W. Whitney, Gericault in Italy, London, 1997, p. 138, fig. 176) and a second, which has not been located, which focuses on the rider holding his horse in exactly the same position as the present drawing (Bazin, op. cit., no. 1351). The use of graphite, the fine hatching to mark the shadows and the position of the horse and rider are identical to the present drawing.A letter from Lorenz Eitner dated 16 October 2003 confirming the attribution to Gericault will be given to the buyer.
