Remember your wife!
-
A lovely water colour, partly finished, very much in the style of Charles Léandre. Unsigned, this work appears to be an incomplete composition for a magazine such as "Le Rire" or "L'Assiette au Beurre." A worman on a director's chair, is speaking to a relaxed gentleman, in late nineteenth century dress, wearing a straw boater and with an outsized moustache. The painted area is highly skilled, and appears to be finished. What is curious, is that the pencil sketch shows another woman, stood to the other side of the man, and tapping him on the shoulder. Only her hand has been inked in. It is tempting to think that the shadow of the woman is left intentionally ghost like, as the man's conscience reminding him of his wife. What argues against this, is that the "ghost" is in pencil (which wouldn't have reproduced in any intended publication). Also, the man's left foot is also only in pencil. So on balance, this is an unfinished caricature. Still a fabulous fin de siecle drawing. On art paper, with a little nicking to the edges and slight darkening. A single fold to the centre where the sheet has been folded. 30cm x 22cm. .
