Provenance Alexis-Féréol Perrin de Sanson (1733-1820), donné par le modèle à son neveu, Jean-François Théodore David (1762-1844), le 2 juillet 1838 (selon une inscription au verso du cadre), puis à son parent, Augustin Alexandre Dumont (1801-1884), puis par alliance et par descendance au propriétaire actuel. Literature E. L. Vigée Le Brun, Souvenirs, Paris, 1984, II, p. 332 (comme 'M Perrin'). N. Jeffares, Dictionary of Pastellists before 1800, Londres, n° J.76.328 (version en ligne consultée en mai 2021). Post lot text ÉLISABETH LOUISE VIGÉE LE BRUN, PORTRAIT OF ALEXIS-FÉRÉOL PERRIN DE SANSON (1733-1820), PASTEL ON PAPERUnpublished and kept in the family of the model since its realization in 1772, this youthful pastel of Elisabeth Louise Vigée Lebrun was made when she was only seventeen years old. Considering few of the artist's early pastels are known, this portrait of a man in a blue suit is a rare marvel.A precocious talent, Louise entered the studio of her father Louis Vigée (1715-1767), a renowned pastel artist, at the age of eleven. Showing great aptitude, Louise then enrolled at a drawing academy directed by Marie Rosalie Hallé, wife of the painter Noël Hallé, received occasional mentorship from Gabriel-François Doyen and Joseph Vernet, and thereafter joined the Académie de Saint-Luc in 1774. A process Joseph Baillio considers largely self-taught, Louise kept a "livre de raison" listing the names of her models. The sitter of the present model, Alexis-Féréol Perrin de Sanson, is included in the listing (J. Baillio, Élisabeth-Louise Vigée Le Brun, exh. cat., Paris, Galeries nationales du Grand Palais, New York, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Ottawa, National Gallery of Canada, 2016, p. 15; and É.-L. Vigée Le Brun, op. cit., 1984). Alexis-Féréol Perrin de Sanson (1733-1820), a lawyer at the Parliament and alternate comptroller general of the bailiff's office in Provence, is depicted in bust form, smiling, at the age of thirty-nine, unmarried, and without descendants. De Sanson was also an avid bibliophile and his collection was dispersed in 1836 in Paris (M.A. Dumont and M.H. Lavigne, 'Documents nouveaux sur les Coypel et les Boullogne peintres et sur les Dumont sculpteurs 1712-1788', Nouvelles archives de l'art français. Recueil de documents inédits, Paris, 1887, p. 219 and 223).The works painted and drawn by mademoiselle Vigée during her adolescence are often portraits of her entourage, like that of her brother painted in 1773, one year after the present pastel (Saint Louis Art Museum, inv. 3:1940; ibid., no. 19). Although few youthful pastels have surfaced, drawings in black stone or red chalk are more frequent, completed on the spot in front of the model as a first draft. Examples include A Woman Study called 'My Maid' in the Carnavalet Museum in Paris (inv. D. 6447), and A Young Woman with a Veil and A Young Woman with a Wreath of Flowers, both in the Louvre Museum (inv. 33 269 and RF 2783). In a style similar to these sketches, the spontaneity of the line, capturing the expression of faces, is clearly evident in the present pastel.We thank Joseph Baillio and Neil Jeffares for their assistance in writing this entry. The pastel will be included by Joseph Baillio in the catalog raisonné of the artist in preparation.
