NICOLAS DE PLATTEMONTAGNE, STUDY FOR THE FIGURE OF KING BALTHAZAR AND SUBSIDIARY STUDIES OF THE HANDS, BLACK, RED AND WHITE CHALK

This large, unpublished sheet aux trois crayons is typical of Nicolas de Plattemontagne’s graphic work, both in terms of the technique used and the layout, which often include hand studies. This draped man is a study for the figure of Balthasar in the Adoration of the Magi, a canvas in the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Quimper (fig. 1; inv. 873-1-547). All the characteristics of Plattemontagne’s graphic writing are present: ‘the taste for assertive hatching, parallel lines and accentuated highlights of white’ (L.-A. Prat, Le Dessin français au XVIIe siècle, Paris, 2013, p. 371). A study drawn for the group of the Virgin and Child in black and white chalk in this same painting is in a private collection (F. Lanoë, Trois maîtres du dessin. Philippe de Champaigne, Jean-Baptiste Champaigne, Nicolas de Plattemontagne, exhib. cat., Port-Royal, Musée national de Port-Royal des Champs, 2009, p. 143, no. 147, ill.).
Several comparable subsidiary hand studies appear in drawings that were included in the 2009 exhibition at the Musée National de Port-Royal des Champs, which helped the general public to rediscover this artist: a Study for a Portrait of a Man and a Study for a Seated Apollo, both in the Museo Cerralbo, Madrid (inv. 08049, 08039) or a Study of draperies, a head and hands in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (inv. 1996.97; see Lanoë, op. cit., nos. 116, 120, 122, ill.).
We are grateful to Frédérique Lanoé for supporting the attribution based on a digital photograph.
