Lot 251

Description

Attributed to Charles-André van Loo, 
French 1705-1765- 

Studies of a seated male nude, recto and verso; 

black and white chalk on blue paper, inscribed 'Vanlo' (recto, upper right), 44.6 x 59.3 cm. 

Provenance: 
With Aldega-Gordon, New York;
where purchased by the current owner in the 1990s. 

Note: 
Van Loo produced a number of Academic male nude studies which are strikingly similar to the present drawings, including one which sold at Christie's, Paris, on 27 March 2019 (lot 73), and another which sold at Sotheby's, Paris, on 19 June 2006 (lot 49). A study of a standing male nude in the collection of the National Galleries of Scotland [D 1981] also exhibits the artist's distinctive handling of the chalk, particularly in the areas of shade, which is echoed in the present work.
