Post lot text

CIRCLE OF GASPAR-FÉLIX TOURNACHON, CALLED NADAR, PORTRAIT OF FRÉDÉRIC CHOPIN, BLACK, WHITE AND YELLOW CHALK ON BROWN PAPER

This caricature of Frédéric Chopin can be compared with portraits of other celebrities drawn by the great photographer Nadar, also on brown paper, with charcoal and heightened with gouache or white chalk, notably for his large-scale caricature known as the Panthéon Nadar, published in 1854. Among these caricatures can be mentioned one of the novelist and diarist Edmond de Goncourt, of the poet Charles Baudelaire or of the composer Jacques Offenbach (sale Tajan, Paris, 3 December 2004, lots 114, 23 and 42).
Many painted and drawn portraits of Chopin exist, by artists such as Eugène Delacroix (Louvre, inv. RF 1717), Ary Scheffer (Dordrechts Museum, inv. DM/S/T444) and Louis Gallait (private collection; see Frédéric Chopin. La Note Bleue, exhib. cat., Paris, Musée de la Vie Romantique, 2010, nos. 45, 84 and 58, ill.). However, caricatures of the composer are rarer; indeed, the present example may be unique in this respect, showing as it does an unshaven composer wearing what appears to be a woman’s hat (perhaps one of his one-time lover George Sand), and paying particular attention to the pianist’s long thin fingers, which here don’t touch the keys but hold a cigarette.
